Specifically to address Ruby being a dying language:
I find ohloh.net to be a great source of information on topics like this. http://www.ohloh.net/p/ruby Ruby: Source tree: http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/ - Is approaching 1 million lines of code and growing. - Has had 46 developers commit code over the last year: "This is one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh." - Is the main language for many other innovative new applications and libraries including rails, rubygems, rake, rspec, cucumber, redmine, capistrano, haml, and many others. (See http://www.ohloh.net/p?sort=users&q=language%3Aruby ) Anyway, this is just a quick scrape of some stats. There's much more if you dig around there and other places.
