I stick with Ruby because it rarely trips me up in the middle of crafting something new. It has a great REPL environment and the feedback cycle is fast. What I give up in terms of type-driven certainty I make up for in creativity-driven productivity. It's flexible when I need it to be.
I come back despite the headaches that come with its warts. I also come back for the sensible community attitude towards problem solving and the fact that I have a certain type of problem I gravitate towards solving. Ruby gives me the productivity that comes with maturity but the tooling seems to have enough "modern" appeal.
I keep expecting to do less Ruby but I keep coming back for the niceties.
