Which should someone learn first, Ruby or Python?

• black-tea 8y ago
  Neither. Learn an assembly language first and work your way up.

    Nah. Learn electronics and boolean logic and work your way up.

      No. That's not necessary. Assembly language is the simplest programming language there is. It's not a joke and will save time later.

  Unless you have a specific industry in mind, the difference is mostly cosmetic. Are you a fan of things being explicit and obvious from the source even if they take more space - learn python. Are you a fan of short and clever solutions which may be heavy on invisible magic underneath - learn ruby. Otherwise (looking just at popular communities): Data processing, scientific computing, iot - python. System admin, quick websites - ruby.
