rapid movement definitely has it's downsides. However, I don't know what you mean when you say that ruby code isn't stable between versions. Do you mean between versions of ruby? If so, again, the transition from ruby 1.8 to ruby 1.9 was much much better than the transition from python 2 to python 3.

Python 2 to Python 3 is a big jump once in a lifetime. what about ruby 1.9 to ruby 2.0?
- jshen 15y ago
  ruby 2.0 will likely be just as easy as 1.8 to 1.9, if not easier.

    so, it's not as easy as python 2.x to 2.(x+1) and python 3.x to 3.(x+1). will every version update of Ruby will suffer as mush as Ruby 1.8 to 1.9?
