For many people here Ruby already soars hight above where no other  
languages can reach ;-). I love C++ and use it professionally every  
day, but evening comes and tired after day's labor I get to my Ruby  
pet projects at home just to relax. And often a get more results in  
less time, let alone satisfaction.

I must mention that my day work involves quite a bit of Ruby as  
well :-).
