I feel the same way... about Ruby. I'm always shocked at how often I can just guess how to do something, and it works. The language lets you do anything.
Whereas in Python, there's one way to do it, and it's a matter of looking it up the right way to do it.
Matter of personal preference, really. They're pretty much equivalent choices for a web app and one probably just should use whichever one is most comfortable with.
- morganwilde 13y agoTo be honest, I always felt the same way about both Ruby and Python, the level of intuitiveness seems the same to me.
- kyllo 13y agoYeah, I totally get that. It's just that having learned Ruby first, when I try to write Python I type things that I think should work, but they're just the wrong syntax. Like, as a trivial example, I always try to push() on a List when I want to use it like a stack. List in Python has a pop() method but no push() method, what's up with that? I guess I just need to RTFM though.
