IMHO its not even a hype like Ruby, it's mostly only "chic". 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It *is* chic. I didn't suggest it because of this though, neither for its general usefulness (I don't want to open &lt;b&gt;this&lt;/b&gt; box of worms), but because the OP expressed explicitly:
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;.... so that I can improve my overall programming language skill set&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
I could equally well have proposed Prolog, BCPL or Scheme....
