Great. Another Ruby vs Python article. At least there's some good, objective points in there. I do like the fact brought up about there not being any Python bootcamps.
- mhurron 14y agoI agree, this is stupid. Python is clearly the superior language, there is no need to constantly compare it.
- patrick_curl 14y agoI find some fault here, as someone who's been self-learning Ruby on Rails for the past few months and having looked at Python/Django, I can say that Ruby isn't that hard to learn in fact Rails is pretty darn easy for newbies to learn. I'd say neither language is 'superior' -- one big thing to look at is which language has the most/best libraries and plugins - almost ALL apis have Ruby support through gems, and the ease of using gems in apps makes it a pleasure to use, especially with bundler. Also if python is superior, then why are there more jobs for Ruby Devs?
- mjhea0 14y agoYour're right - it is a boring discussion. Python is good for some things, and Ruby is good for others. (Python just happens to be good at more things.) Likewise, Django, web2py, TurboGears all have their place, just like Flask and Sinatra and Bottle. Hell, CGI Programming is still good for things. The point of the article is why don't we have any Python Web Development Bootcamps. Why such a tremendous focus on Ruby and especially Ruby on Rails? If Python is so superior then why the lack of web dev training. It's absurd.
