> Ruby feels like a “more than one way” type of language more closely related to Perl. Gem issues aside, which Perl doesn't tend to have because CPAN is so rock solid, that was exactly the reason I didn't continue with Ruby when I checked it out, somewhat in depth, a few years ago: Ruby is Perl with OO done right, which is nice, but if you use Perl professionally, Ruby will not provide you with an alternative way of thinking the way Python does.
