C'mon, Ruby's just Python with slightly different syntax.
But seriously, it's more and more common to write webapps in Javascript and to keep your server-side views and controllers minimal. And for that minimal REST frameworks like web.py are just enough. Full blown Rails (or Django) webapps are bad for caching and do not provide the best user experience possible.
It's glorified PHP.

Sure, that was mostly joke anyway.

Would love to know why.

If you're doing all your user interaction server side than almost all of your views become dynamic.

That's overall true, but the pervasive use of blocks (as crippled as they may be) and a culture of metaprogramming, as well as some Perlish inheritance (I would guess) can lead to significant differences in ways of working, code being produced and community building. Ruby and Python are very similar syntactically and semantically, but have greatly diverge socially. > It's glorified PHP. That I completely disagree with, though. And the paragraph which precedes.
