Sheesh... it seems like every man and his dog is jumping on the latest TIOBE index figures showing a very small dip in the popularity of Ruby. Talk about lies, damned lies, and statistics... Firstly, let me point out the obvious - it's a bloody small dip. Yes, Ruby has plateaued over the last few months. But so did every language - well, except for the ones that dropped. It's got comparable mindshare to Python, JavaScript and C#, and nobody is saying that they're vanishing.

You should. Ruby will smoothly wrap around your brain and will guess your wishes...
I have compared a lot of modern languages and landed using ruby.
But of course, it's all about taste and choice...
