As you learn more programming languages, these cute little operators become less cute and appealing, as you realize that !condition would be far more ubiquitous and transferable than something like unless condition.
I "grew up" in my career as a rails dev myself, but I favor things that are immediately clear to the broadest amount of people possible these days. And if you truly miss these constructs, in any language where you have metaprogramming, which is most these days amongst the broadly used ones, it should be trivially to implement them, should you insist on continuing to use them.
I use Elixir for my "fun" language these days, and they provide unless/2 as a macro, (if/2 is also a macro), but I haven't found myself reaching to use it once.
