I really liked ruby too, until they really messed up building a type system. But it's not just about optimising for your career (although that is really important, money makes life easier), it's optimising your present and your future.

I love programming languages so much, and that's why I want to keep evolving, helping my career is just a byproduct of that.

I'm just disappointed the creators of ruby were so bad at evolving the language that it got trounced by things that came about much later. So much wasted promise. If you're enjoying hanging out on your sinking ship then by all means hang around for a bit longer, but don't fool yourself long enough that you drown with it.

You can't sink when you have a whole armada of boats 😎

There's no armada, just a waste of time and a waste of priorities: youtu.be/_F2k1zwDymw

You're pretty stubborn.. I was hinting at the fact that when you work with multiple programming languages, you're golden. No waste of time here
