That's an interesting point. I used Rails extensively when I was a web developer. I gave this up when I shifted back to an analytical role and started writing much more numerical code in Python for analysis rather than application development. If I were to write a web app, my first instinct would be to go back to Rails. However, I do agree with you that much as I like Ruby and Rails, Python would be my overwhelming choice for analytical or numerical code - and I do like Python. One possibility would be to handle as much CRUD and UI development in rails as possible, and make analytical code available to the app through services in Python.
