jm3 (John Manoogian III)i think a big part of Python’s modern ubiquity (compared to Ruby) stems from 1. Python being more straightforward/ less ✨ magical than Ruby, and 2. Python having numpy and scipy as enablers to be the “picks & shovels” language of AI and big data, two huge trends to ride.
Ruby being seen as beautiful and web-centric, two things I personally love, are double edged swords when the web is seen as older, and magic can slow onboarding.
i think that’s the vast majority of it. https://floss.social/@codeDude/114492856636870298

No popular opinion. When somebody ask Which is the easier programming language? For sure mostly would say #Python But I think #Ruby (not #RubyOnRails ) is easier than python, the elegance of the ruby language is a great approach to beginners, nevertheless python has more applications.
