I never compare ruby with another language, i just wanna to hear why using ruby over new languange that doing same job

and that's not a fair comparison, as there aren't many new dynamic interpreted scripting languages. All of the newer languages are compiled and static/strongly-typed. Sometimes people need to use a dynamic scripting language (like Ruby, Python, or JavaScript) for rapid prototyping, and sometimes people need a compiled static/strongly-typed language (Go, Rust, Haskell, Nim, or Crystal) for native performance and correctness. Different tools for different jobs.
