In a sense Ruby is sort of a cleaned up Perl but maybe not cleaned up enough.

I fell totally in love with it almost 20 years ago but these days I think we have better languages to choose from even if their ecosystems aren't always as rich.

You mean like Dart and Go? For expressivity I'll stick with dirty old Ruby, thanks.

Ruby is expressive and makes for great short demos but becomes a nightmare to maintain in larger codebases with dynamic typing & implicit imports.
