Python or Ruby ? Vote !

[mihai11]

Hi,


What would you recommend and why ? Python or Ruby ?

Please don't answer both. I am not Napoleon – I have to do things one at a time

I really like Python personally, but a lot of people who like Ruby on Rails.

This is my list for now:

Pro Python:
1) More widespread and more generic language used for building web sites, GUI interfaces, mathematical applications ...
2) It is faster (where I read that ?!);
3) Better support on web hosts;
4) A bigger community;


Pro Ruby:
1) Better OOP approach - everything is an object in Ruby;
2) Just 1 framework - ROR (all the developers are concentrated on this)

Monty Python - all the way!

You also need to vote to get counted

Add Monty Python as a choice then.

Ruby of course

Ruby of course

Any reason good enough to be on my list ? (see my previous post)

No experience with either so I picked Ruby because it sounds cool

The fact that Ruby doesn't have primitives I think is so incredibly awesome. I love being able to:

4.times { puts "Hello" }

I only wish that it used curly braces instead of the stupid def/end business.

I would say Python myself, but that is only because I have had more experience with it.
