Agreed. ruby is really nice. I've worked some time on a better ruby VM, potion by _why.
but in the end ruby had the same struggles as python and perl, and basically killed themselves. it's much more racist over there than in perl. php was the only major scripting vm which had some proper progress, but they started from a very poor stdlib, so the old sins are still hurting them.
It's more worrying that that such an absurd badly designed language such as Javascript took over, and Dart was put back. And that the Lua vs Luajit fights were not resolved. This hurts everybody in the long run, because luajit would have been the best of all.
