Okay, that's a serious question and deserves a serious answer.

Put down Ruby and study Python for 1 month. Then study Perl 1 month. 
Then Java. In 3 months you'll have your answer, and in the process 
you'll have learned something about 4 programming languages and you will 
have become a better programmer.

Seriously, there is no one programming language for all programmers and 
all programs. The Pragmatic Programmers used to recommend that we all 
learn a new language every year. The more you have in your "programmer's 
toolkit" the better programmer you'll be.
