I only played with Small talk in school as it was before my time but it was great. As I am working at a large Ruby shop currently, Ruby is a lovely language. Ruby really does solve many of the issues I had with Java. Its a very elegant language. I think the behavior of any object taking messages is great, though thats not used much in professional code it seems. I think more people should give ruby a shot.

I do wish it were a bit faster ,but hopefully truffle ruby, sorbet, yjit, etc. can put in the work to fix that.
