No doubt about other languages as well. I think the truism is: "(ex-)Ruby users are more vocal about what they use" It'd be fascinating to do a study on personality types/traits and programming language use.

Yeah, the Ruby community is very blog-centric, and I have thought of that before, so you are most probably right.

I too would like to see a study, but I would have no idea how to conduct it!

Maybe the Ruby community is just reaching out everywhere trying to find a better language (just a jab from a python dev ;P )
