Ruby has odd, once unique syntax that looks strange to anyone raised on C-like syntax, including js and java. Python is similar, simply removing redundant braces. So no ruby was not better at things most folks care about, i.e. being easy to learn.
- sethrin 4y agoYou seem to have confused personal familiarity with ease of learning.
- mixmastamyk 4y agoThings that are familiar are easier to learn, it’s a fact. As someone raised on math and English notation, then industry exposure. Ruby being a odd duck did it no favors. Python definitely found footing based on its pseudocode readability. It’s gotten a bit worse recently with too many colons and features but already made it.
