I won't argue about Ruby being a better language(I like C# and Ruby and I am not inclined to pick a winner). But what version of C# have you used? If you had a brush with earlier versions of C#, I suggest you http://www.manning.com/skeet2/excerpt_contents.html read the first chapter.

Indeed. With lambdas, closures, LINQ, and dynamic types when I want them, I find that C# feels sort of like a nice midway point between Java and Ruby.
