What about Bluby..err Ruby? :D
well, if i look on the situation more seriously, python is more popular than ruby, and ruby has some features that make it a tiny bit more powerful in some situations so if the author if such an underground freak, he can use ruby for a few months until it becomes Bluby too.
- cstejerean 18y agoPython more popular than Ruby? To me it always seemed that Ruby and Rails are more popular.
- BrandonM 18y agoI would say that RoR is more popular than, say, Django, but that Python the language is more popular than Ruby the language.
- pavelludiq 18y agoYeah, thats what i meant. Do you use ruby for scripting blender or anything else other that RoR? Do you use it for scientific computation? Do people use it for shell scripts and small games, or GUI apps?You can do that with ruby, but for me, people learn ruby because rails is popular, python doesn't have that one big killer app, people learn python because its generally fun and useful for many stuff.
- stcredzero 18y agoI think this is a great indicator of whether a language is a success: Do people learn it because its generally fun and useful? (Versus, do people learn it because of corporate PR, or because it's the accepted/official way to do [X])
