I haven't written any Ruby for years, but I still praise it in every conversation I have regarding programming languages. It's basically a much simpler Python, with some design ideas that are both beautiful and deeply strange.

    Ruby was designed to evoke joy and they absolutely succeeded. Usually, programming is mostly a means to an end to me. But using Ruby just feels so amazing, it's almost impossible to even describe to somebody who has never used it before.
