I really fell for Ruby around 2001 after liking Perl for about 5 years but then deciding that OO Perl was just seemed like a hack. Ruby was my favorite language from about 2001 till about 2010 or so. Then I found strongly typed functional languages like OCaml and F# to be more to my liking. And Python not Ruby was used in most of the jobs I had during the 2010s.

It seems like Rails really caused Ruby to fall out of favor around 2010 so it's interesting to see some positive Ruby articles here lately. Looks like there's been a good amount of performance improvements as well as new language features added over the last decade - perhaps we're seeing a bit of a Ruby revival?
