Recently: x64 support, Bluetooth support, WiFi improvements, and a package manager and porting tools. In answer to your questions: Python definitely works just fine on it, as do Vim and the terminal emulator. I have no idea about Ruby, but I'd be surprised if it didn't work. That said, what'll bite you is the lack of browser support. There are actually good browsers, mind, but you don't have your usual Firefox/Chrome duopoly fully available. There's also no virtualization support. While I don't know what your web dev workflow looks like, mine needs at least something along the lines of LXC/FreeBSD jails for me to actually get stuff done.
