I'm not into the whole sys-admin thing or the Ruby hotness or the Node.JS hype but I noticed that there are more utilities or tools that are written in Ruby lately.

CloudFoundry seems to be written in Ruby and it looks like a bunch of sys-admin tools.

Chef, Puppet are both written in Ruby and utilized Ruby (or Ruby DSL?).

There's a strong push for Ruby lately and it might be because Ruby is kind of similar to Perl so some sys-admins are okay with that?
