Groovy. Probably because Groovy borrowed quite a lot from Ruby.

Apache Groovy even borrowed its name from Ruby -- it's really Gruby, if you get what I mean. And of course Grails started off as a clone of Rails.

Definitely. I dabbled in Ruby but kept coming back to Groovy because it had all the nice syntax of Ruby but all the advantages of the JVM, solid Java ecosystem / libraries and optional strong / static typing to apply when valuable (eg: defining interfaces or data types).
