Me and hacking have a really good relationship going(for now)
I love anything computers but my main love is for hacking/pentesting. I am currently a college student with less than a year left!
What is your opinion on Ruby scripting verses other languages like Python or Bash? I know that Metasploit (vulnerability application) is programmed in ruby but I also have read that most people use Python or Bash for scripting. What are some advantages Ruby might have?

I don't think of Ruby as a scripting language, even though it's interpreted rather than compiled. In fact, I never say 'test script' b/c it seems to me to suggest something lightweight rather than substantial.
Bash is not object-oriented (disqualifying in my view), and therefore not at all comparable to Ruby, Python, or even Perl, all of which are object-oriented.
Besides blocks (which I love), Ruby just feels fluid to me.

Thanks for your honest response! :) I will keep that in mind for sure.
