Ruby is a pure object-oriented (everything in Ruby is an object) interpreted (no need for a compiler) language.
Tl;Dr excellent for learning, a joy to use, less hot than js/python
It is well known for:
- Its eloquence & readability, making it a great choice for beginners, and a pleasure to use for experienced devs
- Ruby On Rails, an MVC framework that is excellent for rapid prototyping of small to medium sized web apps
- Friendly community
- lots of learning resources & solid documentation
Cons:
- not as ubiquitous as js: smaller community, less resources
- not as much entry level ruby jobs
- not so good for huge codebases
- not as fast as a compiled language, a problem shared by all interpreted languages (js, python,..)

Rumors are just rumors. Everything that is needed to see is the potenciality of the language itself
