About the only place I ever hear of ruby being used is web development
with RoR. When it comes to web development, it seems to me that ruby
(because of rails) is far more popular

than python. It seems to me
that ruby is the niche player, and python (with fairly new frameworks)
is trying to catch up to ruby in that niche. It seems to me that the
python web framework that best competes with rails, is Django, and
Django 1.0 just came out a few months back.
Fooled by version numbers ? Heck, Python 3.0 just came out a couple
weeks ago, and PHP is already at 6.x !-)
FWIW, I wrote my first django app years ago (and it's still in production).
A lot of Ruby noobies don't even realize that most of
Ruby is an out-right plagiarism of Python.
I don't know who asserted such a stupid thing, but he manages to be
equally clueless wrt/ both languages.
Maybe. But the rails framework seems to have a different philosophy
than the django, turbogears, or pylons, frameworks. RoR values
convention over configuration, and has a lot of "magic" whereas the
python frameworks seem to have the opposite philosophy - in those
regards. I see pros and cons to both approaches. I wonder what the
market with think?
My actual CTO is a big Ruby/Rails fan, yet he settled on Python/Django
for our current 'big' project. Wonder why ?
