You seem to care a great deal about a topic you don't yet know enough about. You seem to have a superficial attraction to Ruby, which is fine, but it doesn't actually make Ruby better in any meaningful way. If you actually use a language and make real programs in it, you'll stop being a beginner before long, and your opinion now will be irrelevant even to you. Ruby is my go-to language for getting things done, but there is still a whole lot that is awesome in Swift.
