I should point out that Rails wouldn't exist without Ruby.

I think this is a key takeaway. I always hear people talking about how they are trying to create Rails for their given language, like JavaScript, but no one has quite hit the mark. It's called Ruby on Rails for a reason!

Like Ben, I am also still really enjoying developing in Ruby.

Laravel comes pretty close doesn't it? Although it seems that Laravel adopted a bit more of the "architecture" and "patterns" mindset of Java, and it's a bit more verbose (I admit you could say more clunky) than Ruby/Rails. But, when working with Laravel the feeling I get is pretty close to the feel of working with Rails.
