Not a very good case: Java rules.

For me, Ruby was an upgrade from Perl, which I've used for everything 
from CGI scripts to the sort of number crunching one would normally 
associate with C. Development of Perl 6 seems lost in the wilderness so 
I jumped to Ruby. I don't regret it, but I still use Perl 5 where 
appropriate. And PHP. Even a little JavaScript. Horses for courses.
