I just don’t get why people stuck around Ruby to this point. Python checks the same boxes, it’s way more popular, and it’s run by fairly well adjusted people.

Python Drama: “Some APIs broke.”
Ruby Drama: “Major project leader went white nationalist.”

I personally prefer Ruby over Python. It fits how I think better - I rarely have to look up how to do something, whereas I'm fighting with Python all the time.

But I haven't used Ruby in years. I need Numpy, Scipy and so on, and Python is the scripting language of choice for scientific software. So Python it is.

But it's fair to say I use Numpy and so on despite Python, not because of it.
