I was excited. But why ruby? Other tools are also ruby. I don't have appetite to hack in ruby projects.

Why not Ruby? It’s a perfectly fine language.

So don't hack in Ruby. Presumably, it isn't the goal of the author of this project to cater to your liking.

I dislike Ruby and have written about my issues with the language at length, but this is rarely a productive discussion to have. People work with whatever language they have to hand unless they are explicitly setting out to learn a new one. Almost certainly seven years ago the author was using Ruby as a central tool of their work and when they started a project just did it in whatever was in this toolbox at the moment.
