Would you expect ruby to be able to scale up to projects like OpenNMS, Alfresco, or what Pentaho does?
I would, easily. It all depends on what sort of resources you have at hand and what its going to cost you. atleast 4 of the top 10 most-traffic websites out there right now rely quite heavily on ruby.
I meant scale in terms of program size and complexity. You can hook a web interface to a database in about any language and crank things through as fast as the database can respond - especially if you load-balance across a bunch of servers. But how complicated can you make something before you hit a wall with multiple developers clobbering each other or becoming so version-dependent that you are afraid to update anything?
