Python v. Ruby. The eternal question. The languages might not be different, but the communities definitely are.
This just convinced me I need to switch my efforts from Ruby to Python.
- robryan 16y agoYou get the natural language toolkit also.
- djacobs 16y agoVery true. I bought the O'Reilly book on it last month and plan to start on that today. That library is full of linguistic goodness.
- slpsys 16y agoSciPy, OpenCV bindings, PyML, et al. I've worked more with Ruby than Python (and like the language itself better), but there's no question Python has the more momentum in this space.
- djacobs 16y agoAgreed, I think Ruby > Python, both in syntax and semantics. It's a shame I'm going to have to learn such a close language to take advantage of Python's momentum.
