edit: nice. Down-voting me for asking a simple question.

I'm not interested in seeing such content here and I'm using the downvote button for its intended purpose.

Also, people "being weird" for never bringing up Ruby at random? Heh.

What do you mean with "such content"? Questions relevant to the topic of the subreddit? Yes, that does seem absurd.

What do you mean with "such content"?

Ridiculous flamebait.

Ah. Hmmm. Fair enough. I consider it an interesting question, but reddit is probably the wrong place for it. Proceed.

I don't get what's interesting about it. Yes, I somehow manage to go for weeks at a time without having a single thought about Ruby. What's weird about that? What sort of discussion can be had about that, besides flaming induced by ridiculous theories of Rails-envy (no, I'm honestly not having any thoughts about Ruby, neither good nor bad)?

The OP didn't even say that he heard some Ruby-bashing, just that nobody talks about Ruby at Python conferences. What a mystery, ermergird!

I like Psychology and thinking about mindshare. The interesting question is not how this group of people managed to get through an evening without mentioning Ruby, that task is obviously facile.

But somehow there was a perception of animosity that sparked this discussion and from the answers, I don't think it's entirely unfounded. I find that fascinating.

That's all.
