I have no problem at all with polyglot systems. That said, Clojure, as a general-purpose programming language, is in my subjective opinion superior to Ruby. Furthermore, there is nothing special about Ruby that makes it particularly suited to webapps (MVC webapps, perhaps, but MVC is not the only paradigm)
As such, I expect and would welcome an eventual Clojure web framework with the same level of polish and stability as Rails. I don't mind polyglot programming, but one-language programming is easier. Plus, I just like working in Clojure. I don't think that's unreasonable, is it? Development platforms are not a zero-sum game. Just because I work on/prefer a Clojure framework to a Ruby one doesn't mean I'm trying to insult or belittle Rails.
