I still think ruby is a bad language, even though I agree with you
I found ruby horribly confusing until I got over the intial learning bump.
Now I love it. It really is lovely. In terms of design that is. Not sure about the monkeypatching
I really don't like how rails brings things into scope and you just have no idea what's there or how it got there unless you know all of the conventions. I guess that's a rails issue and not ruby though.
I learned in python and C++ so I'm biased towards things that are extremely specific. Definitely doesn't mean ruby is necessarily bad, I just don't like it.
I'm one of those weirdoes who likes ruby and has never used rails, so no opinion there.
