I started on Perl. This made Python extremely fatiguing each time I tried to pick it up. Ruby was a breath of fresh air (the creator being inspired by Perl). Unfortunately, I got to it after the crazy late nights of hacking around with new things until dawn had passed and now I’m older and less “hungry” to learn. Now I read history books more than tech books, but I’m still ambitious to rekindle the flame that drove relentless pursuit of new tech knowledge and become proficient in the language. Comments here say the article is a hack job, so I didn’t read it. That said, I don’t think it’s likely that either language is necessarily better for beginners (and I admit that I base that on nothing but my gut). But non-beginners are probably better suited to whichever more closely resembles whatever they’ve been comfortable with in the past.
