Ruby is for handful hacking lang for me like old days Perl. It seems that thoughts who learned Ruby for production Rails app vs learned Ruby for hack is very different.

Python is also great but I still wish Ruby is installed everywhere for writing one-liner since Python isn't good for that.

I also think Ruby should be the natural successor to peel on all *Nix systems.

Ruby is ridiculously useful. Python edges it out for scientific/engineering applications because of Scipy and now Machine Learning ecosystem.
