If you don't want to start a flamewar, then at least try not to spread FUD.

Don't Confuse Ruby with PHP. Saying that Ruby does not scale is similar to 
saying PHP or Java or C do not scale, 

There is Ruby. Ruby is just any other language, like Perl or PHP or Java.  
Ruby is one of the newest languages (~14 jears old), which -in practice- 
means it has learned a lot from failures of older languages.

There is Ruby on Rails (RoR). This is a system written in Ruby. Just like 
Drupal is written in PHP. Yet RoR is a framework; RoR is meant to allow you 
to make your own CMS. Drupal already IS a CMS.

Conclusion: comparing Ruby with Drupal is like comparing christmas trees and 
oranges. Comparing Ruby on Rails and Drupal is like comparing apples and 
oranges. In the mean time, you might want to ask any questions about RoR, 
Ruby and Drupal at http://groups.drupal.org/ruby-on-rails-for-drupal

PS. I didn't even mention the fact that RoR performs a lot better then its PHP 
equivalent CakePHP :)
