My personal opinion is maybe, unless you plan to work with Ruby on Rails or get hired at a place that works with it. It has a lot of good libraries though, so you might choose to learn it depending on that as well.

But the more general answer is YES: all languages are worth it, they are designed by people, most of them have been around a very long time so they embody constraints and decisions related to the industry, they have faults and quirks and pros and cons. They all teach you something new :)

Disclaimer: I work with Ruby every day but my "programming heart" still belongs to Python ahhaha
