I read this argument lot from C/C++ devs in rust discussions, they just say that you are not a good developer and they never will do any mistake, but idk, I don't mind being a dumb developer, I like to have an app that I know works, even if you are a pro and you never do a mistake, your team surely will do, it put more burden in the devs, while there are tools that can make you life easier.

Then after that if you still choose ruby over a language that gives you more guarantees and safety then is your choice.

That's not the same argument at all. "know language X" != "be smart".

I am specifically calling out people that _don't know Ruby_ and complain about the language being this or that, when really their frustrations come from them being inexperienced in the language.

It is like never having used a hammer, gripping it close by the head, and complaining that it takes a lot of effort to nail things. Blame's not on the hammer, bud.

This might happen with every language. I don't know. I'm a Ruby developer and have seen this countless times. Also, none of this equates to saying that ruby is perfect. It is not.
