I used Perl then Ruby as my main language for almost a decade each. These days, I don't really write Ruby anymore; I moved on to Elixir and never looked back. But I still find myself using Perl on the command line, in contexts where Awk or Sed would also make sense. Ruby never optimized for the one-liner case IMO.
