Do you have an example of this? I've always seen it as the other way round - Rubyists dismissing Python along with PHP and Java as old/irrelevant/less powerful.

But the whole thing is pointless anyway. Everyone should learn at least a little of both languages since they're both fantastic.
- Luyt 16y agoI saw a video of a talk of DHH in which he expressed his love for Ruby; he also said that Ruby was/is his first language and he doesn't need any other languages. As a counterexample, he showed a snippet of a Python class and scoffed at the double underscores for special methods, and the need to explicitely use 'self'.
- rbanffy 16y agoI have to agree the Ruby community always seemed to be very... emotional.
