Yup. Moving from Pascal to C gave me the same sort of freedom rush as moving from C to Ruby. That said, I don't use Ruby anymore, apart from the occasional command-line tool, but I still use C a lot. I have done a lot of Javascript in the last few years though, and oddly it didn't give me that same feeling of freedom, but that might be because I'd already experienced Ruby.
