If Rails could be written in Python, I would probably prefer that. Ruby has too much of Perl. If I didn't choose to write a critical piece of software in Perl, which caused me numerous sleepless nights hunting for a missing quote or other weird character, I might have thought it was cool. By my experience with PHP and Perl is why I prefer Python. Clever is not what I ever want a language to be.
Python > Lua > PHP > Ruby > JavaScript > Perl > Bash
- wkirby 2y agoHonestly same, but only because Python has types relatively sorted. While I actually enjoy the language, Ruby is… struggling… and after supporting multiple Rails apps in the wild for close to a decade, what me and my team miss the most is the ability to hint types easily.
- lucasoshiro 2y ago> Python > Lua > PHP > Ruby > JavaScript > Perl > Bash Those are different languages, with different characteristics. Perhaps the only two that can be directly compared as a 100% replacement to another are Ruby and Python.
