Ruby was the first programming language I tried to consciously learn. Meaning, it wasn't a part of a university curriculum or something.

Despite not using it for many years, I still have some warm feelings towards this language. In this article Lucas Seiki Oshiro argues that Ruby is good for shell scripts as well.

Ruby is strongly associated with the Rails framework. So, I think this article is a good reminder that programming languages are more than just frameworks.
