I've played with Ruby for a while, and it's true you can do much awesomeness in Ruby in an elegant syntax and that it generally makes your everyday tasks seem too easy. HOWEVER, I'm still the "lisp/C/ASM" kind of faggot because the differences between those and toy languages like Python and Ruby are more fundamental than syntactical. Ruby, pretty much like Python, is crippled due to its internal design that is filled with ad-hoc solutions rather than one, fundamental solution to everything.
Lisp/C/ASM > *. * are all crippled to varying degrees. Some of them are more useful than others, some of them are more elegant than others, but non beat the Lisp/C/ASM trio.
