It's unfair to compare a programming language and a framework. Worst of all these types of articles keep coming up on HN. I guess the fanboys will keep coming,

It's unfair to compare a programming language and a framework. Worst of all these types of articles keep coming up on HN. I guess the fanboys will keep coming, eh? :) It's sad that many Ruby programmers think that their language is superior to another just because it's cool. I love Ruby, but I was interested in Python before learning Ruby. But somehow the language was not a fit. I think which language you like is just a matter of choice (and obviously depends on what you are doing). I would still jump at the opportunity of learning/using python because it's a pretty awesome language. :)
