Coming from Perl, I love Ruby (for non-Rails stuff), but end up using Python because: - The documentation in the Python ecosystem is generally better. - There's more Python libraries, and they're generally better maintained and better documented. - Python has a better interface to C. - Python is more popular and generally more supported by third parties. - Django/Flask - There is comparatively little Ruby activity outside of Rails and a few cybersecurity projects. I really do not like Python. I think it's really inelegant. But it's a better tool for getting my tasks done, due to the above reasons.
