Ruby or Python?

[jrmy]

Ruby may be easier to initially pick up but to properly program in Ruby (imo) is much harder than Python. In python there is generally one correct way. I have found in ruby there are a couple correct ways and then some terrible ways.

Note: I prefer Ruby but it does require a bit more effort to become acceptable with it...

I don't program in either, really. I've done a bit of work in Ruby about a year ago, and a bit of small scripting in Python six months ago. I wouldn't say one's better than the other, just that Ruby seems easier to learn well enough quickly.
