I imagine many Ruby programers migrated to Python.
Not my experience being involved with the community. Indeed, there seems to be rather less migration between the two communities than than other languages (e.g. Python + Go, or Ruby + Elixir) probably by virtue of their similar problem spaces and approaches.
I'm a Rubyist who also knows some Python and while I admire Python, I certainly prefer Ruby. Python is flexible and fantastic in many ways, but is a far less consistent language in terms of organization (e.g. you use methods for some things, functions for others) which didn't click with me. If you want to do something with an array/list in Ruby, say, 95% of the time it's "arr.method" whereas in Python it might be len(arr) or arr.method, a comprehension, etc.
