The elegant way it allows you to extend the object model makes it a surprisingly flexible language. Most of the magic of the Rails framework is based on the seemingly miraculous stuff Ruby's metamodel makes possible. But what I really like about it is whenever I code even complex algorithms in Ruby I have a compulsive desire to constantly rewrite the code to be more concise and readable.

Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
