I love Ruby, but ultimately Python is my favorite. Ruby is consistent and cool, but I can do everything I want with Python and I can make it FAST as hell. Ove

Over the past week I've been moving some things into Cython and it has literally sped 200 times faster than Python which is 10 times faster than Ruby, and with a lot less memory overhead. Speed _does_ matter when the two languages are nearly the same in terms of development speed. Furthermore Python has more libraries and less wtf moments when looking at peoples code.
