I agree about Ruby not belonging on that list. If anything my learning of Ruby (and then Rails) soured any remaining interest I had in Java development.
I'd really be interested to know why ramoq thinks Ruby is less suitable than Java.
I'll tell you one thing that absolutely stinks about Java: no collection literals. For all the time one spends in Java (and most other languages) dealing with arrays, lists, and maps, I always have to instantiate an object and manually add the elements to the collection. Heaven forbid you decide to nest one collection in another.
