It's odd... I have relatively little Ruby or Python experience, but I have a kind of undefined affection for Ruby but if I'd have to choice at gunpoint I'd go for Python.
I think the reason is that while Ruby does feel more 'pleasant' to me, especially the me that is new to programming, Python feels less vague, and I've grown to hate vagueness in my code.
I'd probably recommend Python to new coders at this point, but for web development I would probably still opt for Ruby on account of Rails and the Rails Tutorial. If there was an equivalent to the latter, I'd go for Python though (suggestions?).
- adambrenecki 10y agoI can't vouch for it myself, but the Django Girls tutorial [1] is the resource I hear recommended most often for learning Django without any prior programming experience. [1]: https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/ https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/
- ixil 10y agoIt seems strange, why do you comment when you state you have no experience in Ruby or Python? Maybe leave the conversation to people who at least know one of the languages well.
