> But I can definitely understand why people settled on Python I think people settled on python because for a spell it was really hard to install ruby (1.6-1.8), it got worse around 2.0, (by the time python also ran into these issues, it had way more momentum) and: - schools (high schools, colleges) were teaching python, because "it forced students into code indentation discipline" - linux distros shipped with python because core features were being written in python
