I used to work at a Ruby shop. As a language, Ruby can be elegant despite the overall weirdness, and some of my coworkers were really productive with it.
On the other hand, the Ruby community seems stuck in the 2000s, with some of the self inflicted Ruby pains and attitude being fairly similar to what some Python devs were doing in the late Python 2 era.
These days, I still like Ruby and I would enjoy building some little project with it, but I would rather make a living using other stuff.
