As well you should. Given a job to be done, most of the time Ruby lets
you get that job done much faster than C. Unless you're making a
website to continuously service hundreds of users, or you're trying to
program something for your 1994 1GB RAM laptop, why worry about RAM?

And if you ever get really good at Rails, you'll have lots of high
paying work.
