@sleepynate Cool. Would you provide some details?
-
-
@plcstpierre I like !ruby since it takes OOP to the extreme while maintaining some awesome patterns from functional programming.
-
@plcstpierre I think, Python
-
@safetycopy I think Ruby suits me more, but I feel like I am missing something by not looking deeper in Python
-
@nuclearsandwich Good point!
-
@evarroyo Any particular reason?
-
@plcstpierre what's your background? I came to Ruby from (academic) Java, C++ and C#, first serious programming in a duck-typed lang.
-
@nuclearsandwich Essentially, my background is in Java.
-
@plcstpierre cool, if you like Objects but not Java's boilerplate and inflexibility (and lack of native data types!) you'll enjoy !ruby.
-
@plcstpierre !Python is well designed, has a vast amount of libraries, a great community, focuses on readability and it's fun working with.
-
@nuclearsandwich !Python 3.x is not that different from Python 2.7.
-
@apoisel I know, I'm mostly just really busy and needed an excuse to defer it ;)
-
@nuclearsandwich check out cherrypy. add genshi and you have a nice !python 3 web framework
-
@nuclearsandwich with !cherrypy you turn on just the magic you need, not fight to turn it off, see http://pycon.blip.tv/file/3332744
-
@plcstpierre I like both, but prefer Ruby for its advanced features and friendly community.
-
@apoisel Well designed? Oh … then I'm wondering why friends of mine can pester for houres in the channel about python …
-
@plcstpierre !ruby is beautiful, flexible, original; has rubygems & bundler. Use Python or JS if you want something that feels more like C++
-
@0x6d686b Well, ask your friends.
-
@apoisel That's what I did, and the answer was: «Don't strugle with the snake, go for jewels.»
-
@0x6d686b I use !Python as a main language in professional life since 1999. Ruby can't keep up in terms of libraries and maintainability.

@apoisel Ah, this one reminds me of: «We always did it this way!» I wasn't talking about libs, I was talking about the language itself.
-
@0x6d686b I'm talking about both. I chose the best tool for the job and I don't care what it reminds you of.
-
@apoisel This is also what friends warned me of: Nobody cares. Well … I go have a beer now. :)
-
@0x6d686b I'd suggest you make your own experiences instead of solely relying on your friends. Having a beer is always a good idea though.
