I wrote C# for 8 years, but switched to Ruby after following an my boss to a new startup that is using Ruby. I advocated for years about how great .net is (and the tools still are the best), but if i'm being honest here. Ruby really is a lot quicker for prototyping. It's the perfect fit for startups.

Can you elaborate on the benefits of using ruby for prototyping? What's easier to do in ruby?

Getting runtime errors.

But seriously if you want something quicker than c# for prototyping just switch to F#. Ruby has only downsides.

OT: Do give Elixir a try. It's like am erlang with ruby syntax.
