It’s the language I’m most capable of making a living with. It’s familiar to the point of being boring, I know what popular tools to avoid, I know my way around making Rails get the hell out of the way, turning it into a useful and handy tool.

I do want a chance at something that’s more exciting though. Some of the features I spy in other languages would be so nice to have.

Although I’d recently finally had to solve a problem where Ruby being slow was the major factor. Haven’t had that much fun in years. Benchmarks and second degree lap burns will do that to a person.
