I agree with him that Python is more useful right now as a general programming environment... mainly because it's been around longer, it's a more mature and stable platform, has better libraries in general, better performance, etc.

Python is only four years older than Ruby. The rest ... YMMV.

  Yes, but Python gained a lot more mindshare in its early years than Ruby. Ruby is only now really gaining popularity, and therefore support.

    Part of the reason that Ruby didn't gain that much traction early on was due to the the lack of English documentation.
