Ruby is my comfort language. That may say more about me than about Ruby. For whatever reason, if I have a need to compute something algorithmically, and it's something reasonably simple, Ruby is what I reach for, mainly because in Ruby I'm less likely to hit the speed bump called "reading the manual." But that's because I've memorized a larger chunk of the Ruby manual than (say) the Python manual (I'm a student of mathematics so in theory I should be more in the Python orbit). So very likely it being my comfort language is not something about Ruby per se. As I said in my "Python pitch" in your series, I edit Python faster than I edit Ruby, but I think so much faster in Ruby that Ruby is still my comfort language. Doing every single Ruby exercise on Exercism is probably what addicted me to Ruby.
