Why switch? I use Ruby, when I can and Python when I can't.

Would really love to see ruby forks of popular ml libs.

Or is it because Python is better perfomance-wise?

Really good question since I really enjoy using Ruby, more so even than Clojure and Haskell.

I too would like to see Ruby ports of some of the popular ML libraries. The classifier gem provides an example.
