Python Libraries > Ruby Libraries, at least outside of the web development world. There is nothing even close to the quality of SciKit-Learn, Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Mapnik, PyCUDA, Sage, PyQT, PyGTK+, PIL, Celery, etc.
Ruby is an amazing language (as far as mutability-by-default languages go), but it is far too web-centric...which seems to have turned into a self-fulfilling prophesy.
