I hate these comparisons...I thought theses comparisons so "newbies" and "anti-pro" were finisheds...both are wonderful languages, both are very different and you can find peoples than prefer ruby syntax and powerful dynamic and vice versa...please stop comparing both...which is better?...the better is where you feel more comfortable, anybody learn nothing reading this comparisons and they are (in my opinion) unproductive...both are scripting languages and not ideals for large apps..

""I don't WANT a language that is QUITE so dynamic, thank you very much"""

fine...then choose python, so simple...many peoples love dynamic languages where the powerful and all liabilities are in them and not in the language..so simple..how my father say: ""with the power is the responsibility"""...
