The language itself isn't well documented--or even adequately 
documented.  The documentation is often non-existent or it's complete 
shite.  The powers that be could get good documentation for free if they 
wanted.  This is all they would have to do:

REXML#xpath


and then provide the means for users to post comments and within a year 
the whole damn language would be completely documented by the users 
themselves.  See the php docs for the best docs of any language I've 
encountered.  Unfortunately, Ruby just shoots itself in the foot as far 
as the docs go.  It doesn't matter how great a language is advertised to 
be--if the docs suck, the language sucks.
