Ruby’s potential

Hi guys, I figure this is the best place to post this as I wanted to get your opinions on ruby as a language as a whole, and how are you finding it, is it being used a lot?

I applied for a job which was based on ruby(I’m a die hard Python), and have managed to get a second interview where I’m asked to create basic project(not blog). When I started ruby.. I actually found it really enjoyable. One thing I really loved was the way you inherit the base class with the < symbol, I found that very interesting.

Anyways, while finding this language really enjoyable, I wanted to know the future of Ruby.
