If there would be ruby but no python, or python but no ruby - the remaining one would be worse and less mature than it is now.
Having competition made them both stronger, no doubt.
- lobster_johnson 15y agoMaybe, but it's a shame you need two competing, but very similar projects, to accomplish this. If people had been competing about contributing the best code to the same project, we could have reduced the duplication.
- guard-of-terra 15y agoThat's how evolution works. By duplicating everything and then making it compete. People tend to find their local maximum. Competition forces projects out of local maximums.
