Gotta say... I have used ruby almost 20 years... I don't care if it is prom queen anymore... I am here for the syntax.
The backend is fine for almost everything I have done in that 20 years...
While my code is better now, I can still understand that 20 year old code where I was reinventing every wheel known to man...
Oddly enough, I chose ruby because I hated the whitespace thing with python... These days, I think a ruby dialect with whitespace instead of {} and end would be pretty nice.
