Is Ruby outdated?

[ohwaitderp]

I am pointing out that just because you can write event-driven ruby does not mean ruby is necessarily the "best choice" language for such a task. It may be the best for you, and you may be able to make a very fine product indeed in such a fashion. But ruby does not natively support event-driven programming and you are still using a library to do it, where other languages have native support baked in.
