That is a deep metaphysical question that I am unworthy to answer. But 
I'll take a stab at it anyway.

Perhaps Ruby fills the void that all programmers feel when searching for 
the Answer to web-app, networking, and natural language processing 
Questions. An all-encompassing, overarching, loving programming language 
that is always there for us when it feels like the world - or at least 
that part of the world populated by our bosses and customers - is 
against us.

Indeed, we could say "If Ruby did not exist, man would be forced to 
invent it."
