Bill de Hora has written a great post entitled Python v Ruby Celebrity Deathmatch. Please go read that article, and then come back here. There will be a test...

Many of my posts are about Python. I love python. End of story. I've dabbled in Ruby, and what I've deduced from conversations with many people smarter than I, I've deduced that Ruby has never really made me jump up and sign because it's a pretty good equivalent to Python. As far as features go, they are pretty equivalent. I'm adding my approval to Bill's post.

That is all.
