I personally find the argument 'X company outgrew Rails, so Ruby is on the way out' a little silly. There are plenty of small and medium-sized businesses that Rails works great for. Most businesses never reach mega-scale, where a big custom solution has the chance of being cost effective in the long term. Ruby is still around the #20 mark on the TIOBE index, and has a fantastic community that's very welcoming and still innovating. Ruby certainly isn't dead, and I think more importantly, doesn't even seem to be dying.
