Having used C# since it came out, which I still feel is simply a more Microsoft-supported Java (the syntax is different but the flavor/approach is right there) I find ruby very refreshing. I will still use C# when I need to and am very proficient in it, but if IronRuby keeps the spirit of metaprogramming alive in its implementation I think folks who take the time to really learn it will adopt ruby in a heartbeat as their primary language. There are always those who go kicking and screaming to a new language/platform - I'm not talking about you :).
