It does no such thing as make me wonder why I'm using Ruby. I can and do write Rust, and I enjoy doing so. But I write Ruby more quickly and can more effectively build tools for both my own consumption and that of others, using techniques that I can't use in Rust. Being able to use Rust or something that isn't an unpleasant minefield (lookin' at you, C) where I need it for performance is extremely valuable, but there's no reason to throw out the beneficial, powerful aspects of Ruby to do it.
