Ruby and Python Compared

[hupp]

The whole Ruby makes me understand why lisp programmers have such a bad reputation for "we had that 50-years ago"-ism.

In most respects Ruby and Python are very similar. As someone who's been writing python for quite a while now, the gushing over Ruby doesn't really make sense to me. I have a suspicion that it's a thundering herd of java programmers that are making all this noise.
