I've heard about it from a lot of people in the Ruby community, but never
actually looked at it.   I get the impression that it isn't as polished as
something like Crystal, but its supposed to be very versatile.

With it being under the Apache license I would suggest that suck-it-and-see
was a good course of action!

I will say this, Ruby is _very_ easy to learn and very elegant.
