Right now, Ruby puts food on the table. I loved learning it in college and when I got the opportunity to write it professionally, I was ecstatic.

It does feel like writing English sometimes, but the downside is that a lot of that "English" is based on what you and your team have named things. So I think Ruby can turn a good design into a beautiful code base, but it'll make a bad or even mediocre design turn into an unmaintainable mess
