Well,

Ruby is not a scripting language. It's an interpreted general-purpose programming language Eye-wink

my problem with ruby...

...is they solved the wrong problem. they made a nice OOP language, and then went and made it a scripting language. Why didn't they make it something you could compile? Are CPU cycles so cheap we need VMs and interpreters to make things slow again?

This is why I have avoided ruby so far. I don't need another scripting language. What I need is a reasonable replacement for C++.

i dont know why...

...these are not talked about more. The python dcop stuff is also very complete and powerful. I really wish we could see this promoted more.
