Oh, I absolutely agree it's accidental complexity and won't make you a better developer, but we can always optimize, no? Is there a really good reason to choos

Oh, I absolutely agree it's accidental complexity and won't make you a better developer, but we can always optimize, no? Is there a really good reason to choose Python over Ruby? Usually not, but some people do take a lot of time thinking about such things :) I personally find the ecosystem of software development interesting, I enjoy debates about minuscule language features or text editors or design patterns. I am not really sure why; maybe I think it exposes the variety of the discipline, and I think it might make you a more well-rounded programmer if you take in that wider view. It's hard to put my finger on and verbalize.
