Question

Python Vs Ruby, which one to choose?

Answer 1

According to me, I think Python is better than Ruby as Python has a bigger and more diverse community of developers. Ruby has a great community as well, but much of the community is far too focused on Rails. The fact that a lot of people use Rails and Ruby interchangeably is pretty telling.

As for the differences between their syntax go: They both have their high and low points. Python has some very nice functional features like list comprehension and generators. Ruby gives you more freedom in how you write your code: parentheses are optional and blocks aren't whitespace delimited like they are in Python. From a syntactical point of view, they're both in a league of their own.
