Hi Everyone,
Just joined the list today and looking forward to learning more.
My company is in the process of ditching PHP as our web framework and
strongly leaning towards Python, though Ruby is in the running as well. I only
have limited experience with both but will be ultimately responsible for the
application. Can anyone here comment on the relative strengths of Python over
Ruby (or vice-versa)? Some of the factors we're considering are:
How do the learning curves compare for someone with a strong background
in traditional object oriented design and languages (C++, Java, C#, etc.)?
Is there a decently sized pool skilled Python web developers in the
Seattle area?
Given the maturity of Python, I assume there are large number of
developer tools and libraries out there, but in terms of web development are
there any obviously missing components found in other frameworks?
Cheers!
