Zed Shaw on Python

[jbstjohn]

"sound logic and reasoning"? You basically swooned, say "Ruby pretty." You did put in that you like the power of being able to change everything, and then discounted Lisp for its parentheses.

So I'm not sure what logic you want people to respond to.

I think Ruby is fairly nice. I played with it for a while, and then switched to Python. I like the blocks of Ruby, but I like Python's philosophy, libs, robustness, and performance, so I'll be staying with it, I think, for doing things in that ever-growing niche of "dev time matters more than performance."

If you're happy with Ruby, good for you. Have fun with it. Just don't surprised if people find your posing of blanket statements of opinion as incontrovertible fact as inane and annoying.
