> I suggest giving Ruby a try too.
If you like Go, I don't see much reason to try Ruby except intellectual curiosity. Ruby is clearly a language on its way out and it is not just a lot slower than Go, it's also dynamically typed.

I've been struggling at work to learn and use Rails for the better part of a year. I constantly have to grab someone and have them help me. Either I'm an idiot, or Rails has a bigger learning curve than people make it out to have because I've never experienced this in all my 10 years of programming professionally.
I've found Ruby code the hardest to debug over the years. Also, I think the web development community is waking up to the value of type safety.
I will use Ruby for the occasional script because I like its backtick syntax for invoking other commands, but that's it.
It is even described in many of the project contracts.
