I found the following articles/interviews with Ruby's creator Yukihiro Matsumoto very interesting. They gave me a new insight into why Ruby is such a pleasure to work with.

My favorite quote is from this interview:

Most of our tasks are related to humans after all. So in programming, either we ask the computer to work for a human, or we describe our thoughts to a computer in a very unambiguous way that even computer can execute. In the first case, making the computer work for humans, the target is a human through the computer. In the second case, expressing our thoughts clearly enough to be understood and executed by computers, we express intent from our human brains and as a result it is performed by the computers. So in both cases the object here is human.

This is a great article by Yukihiro Matsumoto
The Ruby Programming Language
"Ruby's primary focus is productivity of program development, and users will find that programming in Ruby is productive and even fun. "
