Been there, done that (10's of 1000's of lines worth), not impressed.  

The problem is similar to what I hear about Python -- yes, you can do
objects, but it is not transparent and there are many little special
cases of weirdness at the edges.  Sort of like C++ :-)

The thing about Ruby that attracted me is that you don't have to
remember weird little special cases, and don't have to squint to
see the objects.
