I'm not even defending ruby too much. I used ruby for many years and it always felt somewhat off.
However, with the brevity of original comment, it feels like Ruby is getting a lot of flak for shaky design decisions.
While in reality, a lot of languages from that period had very shaky design decisions. Newer generations of languages or better versions of these languages - built upon the lessons of that period - avoid these mistakes and put the spotlight on these "obvious" design issues.
