I’m guessing you mean tools and libraries, etc. instead of the actual Ruby language itself.

I don’t think Ruby stands a chance of being the “rails” language except perhaps in the ill-informed public mind. With the exciting developments like Shoes and the existing plethora of gems available and in development that have nothing to do with the net, I’m continually excited about Ruby’s future.

Incidentally, Rails is awesome in and of itself, but also awesome because of how it shows ruby’s strengths and has started people thinking about what a web framework should and shouldn’t be. I also think Merb, etc. are great independent reactionary responses and improvements that ultimately benefit the language as a whole and help fight off the Railsification of Ruby :)

Enjoy your new love affair, Ruby is beautiful.
