You could basically say the same about any language. Just switch the descriptions. For example:

C#: verbose, magical dependency injection, Microsoft, etc.

Ruby: slow

Go: ugly syntax, verbose, if err != nil, etc.

If a language works for you I see no reason not to use it :-)

Ruby's getting much faster now with recent speed improvements, JIT and recent developments by the TruffleRuby team
