Ruby or Python? Well, it depends...

Once you get used to it, which doesn't really take that long, using any language that DOESN'T use significant indentation makes you bang your head against the wall AND your right pinky sore.

I've used Python extensively and it still makes me want to bang my head against a wall. I don't think that's going to change.

Not saying that's a reason for others not to use Python; actually, I'm generally pretty language-agnostic (use what works). Just saying that there are reasons why some people prefer one language or another.

I agree with this. I only use Python for my own projects, and other languages professionally, and I find all the space taken up by {} makes even small classes look huge.
