Same. I used to love Ruby because it just matched the way I thought, and the standard library was layed out in a way that was consistent and easy to remember (one reason I never got into Python was that, while batteries may be included, the naming conventions are all over the place and I found every step of using them surprising). I fell out of love with it when 1.9 broke all my string manipulation code. The Rails crowd pushed the 'magic' stuff way farther than I was every comfortable with. I rarely made use of reflection, but even so find my old programs buggy enough due to mishandling of edge cases that I just don't really trust it anymore. TypeScript/Deno has mostly taken its place for me, though I don't find it quite as ergonomic for little system admin tasks as Ruby was.
