I'd like to learn a programming language - and I need help deciding between
python and ruby. I'm interesting in learning what are the difference, both
objective and subjective, between the two languages. I know this is a python
mailing list, so knowledge/experience with ruby may be limited - in which
case I'd still be interested in learning why members of this mailing list
chose python over (or in addition to) any other programming language. I look
forward to the feedback/insight.
I've used and taught many many languages. My favorites are APL and Python. I just went through some Ruby tutorials. I see some neat things, but in general it seems that Ruby requires more keyboard activity (typing) to get the same result. I will stick with Python. But then there are those who stick with COBOL, so who knows the truth?
