Why Python over Ruby?
yan: For me personally, it boils down to me liking the library more, the syntax more and the common programming styles. Ruby is very hard to follow me due to the (imho) overuse of meta-programming and using language constructs that obscure the actual meaning of the program. Patching objects and being overly clever with language features makes ruby code harder to read.It's also, to me personally, a lot faster to whip something up in Python than in Ruby, even when I knew them at about the same level.
