Ruby does offer advantages, just not in the areas C# is strong.  For
example, it's been stated here before that RUby can't be JIT'd like C#
cn, for various reasons.

Also, C# only very recently ran on my platform (and still isn't
complete) while Ruby has run on it for a while... It would be fairly
dumb to switch to another language that doesn't offer any advantages for
what I do for no reason other than to change.  ^,^
