If you drive the line “ruby, php” into Google Trends:
www.google.com/trends?q=ruby%2C+php&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=1 ,
you can see an interesting graph. I drew two trend lines into the future (clickable): The graph is based on the number of Google searches with the indicated words and is not conclusive evidence, but it is in good agreement with my intuitive estimate (3-5 years). Without much hope, I urge you not to cheat.
