I think Ruby gets a bad rep for some reason. It's extremely powerful and very easy/quick to write but any time I talk about it to JS/PHP/.net devs, they seem to think it's this terrible behemoth.

Interesting. My experience is basically node.js/PHP and I've always felt like Ruby was a solid, mature and better suited tool that a "real" developer would use (I've never really used it so it is just how I imagine it).

Also, I'm not a "real" developer. I've just learned to trick people into paying me to do it...
