I love reading articles like this. 8 years or so ago Ruby replaced Perl for me as my 'go to' language for day-to-day problems. I haven't looked back since. What other people call 'magic', I call not understanding the language and execution environment. For long-running server-side stuff Ruby would not be my first choice, but for eloquence and scripting capabilities... accept no substitute.
