Yes, yes yes. I started Ruby because I got a job at a Rails shop. I didn't like it all that much for a while, but then I decided to write a CLI program in Ruby and break out of rails.
I quickly realized nearly everything I didn't like about "ruby" was actually rails. After a couple of years I moved on and don't do rails anymore, but I ruby is still my go to for any script that requires arrays or maps (the point where bash begins to be really painful).
Ruby is the best scripting language ever IMHO*. Ruby one-liners (inherited from Perl tradition) make it plug nicely into a bash script also.
