"Unix is not one of the “perlisms” Ruby should be trying to distance itself from. Perl got that part right. And with immediately recognizable Unix system calls spewed all over the core library, Ruby feels like it was built for Unix hacking. It’s surprising to see how infrequently this stuff is used as intended or even talked about."

I like Unicorn because it’s Unix. Good stuff in here.
