It's probably indicative of a crucial lack of seriousness as a
programmer, but I'm just not excited about learning a new language
ecosystem right now (and if I was, it'd be Clojure or Erlang, not
Ruby).  I've got enough on my plate trying to learn an entirely new
industry.

In the mean time, I'm 5/6 of the way through _Why's "Poignant Guide",
having already gone through "Ruby in 20 Minutes".  That should be
enough to let me work with the existing code while I decide what to do
with it.
