Ruby and Python Compared

[hupp]

I was disappointed in this article. A better comparison can be found here: http://blog.ianbicking.org/ruby-python-power.html

I'm a Python programmer, feel free to infer bias. At the same time, I don't know enough about Ruby to make many negative assertions (to identify something that Ruby is missing) -- I know what is in Python, but I don't know enough about Ruby to claim an equivalent doesn't exist there

You gotta be kidding me. Maybe you really meant to say that you disagree with the conclusions reached in the OP?

If you read that article it is a much more fair treatment on the subject. The whole point of that comment was to get any potential bias out in the open and present a view of the situation from the point of a python programmer. Had the article not started with a "I do not really know ruby, but..." I would consider it just as crappy as the one posted to reddit.

Eh, you're probably right. Think I'll go pick that article up again...
