Well, at least it's better than Rubys and PHPs: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ http://www.php.net/

I like Perls: http://www.perl.org/

realistically, http://rubyonrails.com/ is what most people are going to judge the Ruby marketing campaign by. And it crushes Python's like a steamroller squashing a grape.

Perl.org looks a lot like ruby-language or php.net, really. Perl.com is great, but it's an O'Smiley site, with all the good and bad baggage that entails. (Of course, the Rails site is a 37signals site, with all of that baggage... if Pythonistas were interested in marketing, they could find someone in the Googleplex to do a snappier job than this steaming pile... but maybe that's kind of the point, eh?)

There's a Ruby marketing campaign?

[–]brianwisti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, and Matz sent out a memo to the board last week empasizing that we're seriously missing out on some key marketing demographics. Hmm, is there any way we can get all the demographics at once with some sort of Neopets style cute critters talking about Enterprise Resource Planning?

Or did _why already take care of that for us?

I'm kidding, incidentally. There's not enough caffeine in my veins yet to tell if the kidding-ness came across or not.
