I discovered Ruby (through Rails) about twenty years ago on the dot. Coming from Perl and PHP it took me a while, but I remember the moment when I had the same realisation you did.

I still love this language to bits, and it was fun to relive that moment vicariously through someone elses eyes. Thanks for writing it up!

I'm glad folks are having fun reading this. I want to write a few more articles, particularly dissecting the internals of Ruby and how amazing it feels.
