The page has been slightly changed since then, but it is still quite outdated. Python 3.6 (2016) has formatted strings, and new/old-style classes thing isn’t relevant at all since Python 3, but wasn’t that much of a deal with Python 2 at the end of its lifetime (~everything was new-style by then).

  Ruby is a neat language that I don’t know very well. Blocks are nice. The pattern matching in Python 3.10 compels me to stay.

    ruby has some nice pattern matching too https://rubyreferences.github.io/rubyref/language/pattern-matching.html https://rubyreferences.github.io/rubyref/language/pattern-ma... not sure if python has better matching though but the ruby stuff is pretty compelling.
