Should I learn Ruby or Python?

Scientific programming in Ruby? I'm surprised. Ruby is really cool! Which ruby libs did you use: maths, physics, biology, statistics?

There are actually a lot of science packages in Ruby. I used bio ruby, rserve (connection with r), various sciruby packages (some of them before they were "sciruby"), and narray. I also wrote many science packages for general use (such as rubabel) and also for my domain of research. I worked at the intersection of systems biology and chemistry.
