I also love Ruby, it's all the little things. It helps me along and makes me happy every time I manage find a solution to a problem. "Woah! Can I really do it just like this?!?!"

Yeah, this. With Python -and I love Python, don't get me wrong, it got me a job- I find myself doing more tasks that feel boilerplate-y and bureaucratic. Ruby is a language that I'd call "delightful", in that a lot of annoying things are easy and intuitive.

This feeling is one of the only things I've found to help keep hobby programming fun while also working full-time as a programmer. I am happy to let everyone at $work favor us writing Python for this reason :)
