I've been using Ruby for over a year now. And I'm having loads of fun using it :-) just recently I've been learning Python and I must say that Ruby has borrowed a lot of conventions from Python. Although I have a bit of a hard time using Python functions as they are not intuitive enough for me as opposed to Ruby functions.
- russ 20y agoRuby is actually heavily influenced by Perl and Smalltalk and parts of LISP. There are some syntactic similarities to Python, but I think it borrows less from it than the previously mentioned. Matz however did find that reading Python code helped him develop Ruby.
