It's a tortoise and the hare debate really. As a C programmer i can say that
ruby is rubbish, and yet when i use it i save countless hours of debugging
and writing kludge code (When you start doing OO in C it's time to try
something new). For me it's the difference between actual productivity and
abandoning projects because i don't have time, besides i might as well chew
up some of the idle cycles my shiny new processor always seems to have.
Oh, and despite what some people might say every language has some merit.
