I've been through lots of languages at this point over 20+ years, everything from C/C++ and (early) Java onwards. Ruby was one of the first languages that felt like it was designed to try and make life enjoyable for a programmer, at the time, circa 2007, that was in short supply.

I've moved on to other languages now, but I treasure the time I spent doing Ruby, and I've carried many valuable things onwards with me.

Things might change for you too, over time, but that won't lessen the positive impact that Ruby has had being so close to the way you naturally think about programming.
