I think languages are like flavors. The more you taste, the better the
cook !
That said, they also seem to attract a certain type of people. If you
take Haskell for example, it seems to attract people who love doing
abstract/math things. Python is more often used by system
administrator these days. C is used by people who like to do low-level
stuff. And ruby is for the entrepreneurs. These are really
generalities and you’ll find some types in every language.
At the end of the day, I would choose the language I feel the best
with, and ruby is my choice. Try lots of them and choose your
direction.
