"I hope to see Ruby help every programmer in the world to be productive, and to enjoy programming, and to be happy. That is the primary purpose of Ruby language." -Matz

Ruby and its ecosystem revolves around your happiness and productivity. Isn't that great?

I think most languages set out to achieve this. It's not a real answer.

For the record, Ruby is a great language, but a better argument for it would be syntactical analysis or talking about features.

If Guido had this awesome quote about his goals for Python, it wouldn't make Python a cool language automatically.
