Yeah, I do not even get why people hate Ruby so much. They do rarely even attack the actual weaknesses of Ruby but instead goes on about Rails specific stuff, the slow performance (a Ruby < 1.9 issue, these days it is as fast as Python if not faster) or just imagined stuff which has never been true.
Ruby is a flawed language (I especially dislike the lack of real namespaces) but the hate it gets is often not based in reality.
