That's pretty much my reaction to Ruby, too.  It's kind of neat, and if I
was a Perl person I'd go use Ruby instead of waiting for Perl 6, but it
isn't so different from the existing scripting languages.  If your interest
is in learning new ways of programming that turn your head around, you'd
need to look farther afield (Haskell, ML, Lisp, etc.).
