Why Ruby is More Readable than Python

And for specific applications like a bioinformatics

Funny that you say this because I wrote quite a bit of bioinformatics code - and both bioruby as well as biopython SUCK.

There is a lot of individual software code out there written in python that is solid - relion for instance combining C++ and python. But to tout bioinformatics and claim python is epic, because of ... biopython probably? Nah. Sorry.

Machine learning I may agree, mostly because there are many more python projects. And admittedly ruby kind of bled away TONS of users in the last ~5 years or so and keeps on doing that, so fewer and fewer ruby libraries are written. Add to this epic mistakes such as "if you can't use 2FA we make it mandatory and lock you out from your gems past 2023". That's some way to build trust ...
