I don't understand this at all. Not saying it's wrong. Just saying that I don't seem to be wired this way.

What I find fun about ruby is that, for better or worse, the language makes it convenient to express programs in a way that is very close to how I naturally think about them. Also: it's got pretty good libraries and a good community.

I would've found this blog post worth reading if the author would've explained why the shift from upstart to accepted technology means that for people like him ruby is no longer fun.
