There is probably not anything less worthy of your attention than a religious war over languages, OS, architectures, etc. That having been said, I have had a look at the Ruby web site and didn't think it was particularly inflammatory. The English language pages could use a going-over by a fluent English speaker, but I don't really have any complaints about it otherwise. In fact, I think I'll try the language. I haven't learned a new one for a while now.
