- SwellJoe 19y agoI found the opposite to be true. Objects in Python are uncomfortable for newbies, while they are very intuitive in Ruby. Both are fine learning languages, however.
- euccastro 19y agoWhat is uncomfortable about Python objects? If it's the explicit self in methods, that will only bother you if you come from a language that implicitly pollutes the local method namespace with that of the object.
