Slightly against the flow here: I chose Python (and Django) when I learned to code (and built our MVP for www.gmbl.io, still a few rough edges - plug, plug) Python's GREAT, no doubt, and Django is also very good.
But I've repeatedly found myself wishing I'd gone with Ruby/Rails (it was basically a coin toss.) because I've ended up in an environment where everyone else is working in Ruby for their pet projects - and it would be great to be able to tap their knowledge.
So, have a look around, what are people you know using? It's probably really useful to choose something that your friends know (if any of them code), or that you know there's a decent support for in your area - but beyond that, it doesn't really matter. And Python's really nice.
- mrharrison 12y agoI agree, the opposite happened to me. I learned Ruby on Rails, but everybody around me was Python/Django, so inevitably I made the switch because friend knowledge makes it easier to pick up.
- iamwithnail 12y agoShall we swap friend groups? :-D I'm thinking about switching to Ruby (or at least learning enough I can join in.)
