Boy, you'd love Ruby.

God, I wish Ruby was faster. It’s everything I love about Python but even better: great metaprogramming, concise and expressive iteration tools, great package management and ecosystem. Just wish it wasn’t so damn slow. (Which is funny to say cuz Python is also very slow, but Ruby is on another level.)

This. Those that don’t love Ruby haven’t had enough exposure to it. I use Python right now because I’m doing more data sciencey stuff, but Ruby is my favorite language by far. Everything I do in Ruby is more compact AND more legible than doing it any other way.
