I just discovered Rails yesterday, and today I find that Chad Fowler makes it the RubyGem of the Month . There has been some very good reports on Rails.
I’ve been learning/playing with Ruby for some months now, and have all but given up on other languages for my scripting needs, but Rails will probably be the incentive to start on a meatier project in Ruby.
The trouble, from my point of view, is that very soon after starting to program in Ruby, you start wondering why ResultSet cannot take a code block and call into it for every row! And that results in needless frustration everytime you have to write Java code :).
Recently however, I was forced to wade through a bunch of strcpy, so Java feels like heaven right now!

BTW, I may be visiting you in the near near future. I'll let you know. :)
