This blog by Steve Yegge, a programmer at Amazon, is an excellent diatribe comparing programming languages. No mention of C#, my professional tool (when I'm not forced to use VB.NET - ugh), but I guess a lot of the comments about Java also apply. I'm inspired to have another look at Ruby after reading it.
The blog is a 404. See historic copy:
