Josef: Make sure you ask this question on Ruby mailing list too. Just like James I too am personally biased towards python and so will be a lot of people on this list.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 2:50 PM, James Mills <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:prologic@shortcircuit.net.au">prologic@shortcircuit.net.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>This is a terribly subjective opinion and I apologize to anyone that<br>
actually uses<br>
Ruby and likes it :)<br>
<br>
I find Ruby (compared to Python) to be a syntactical rip-off and<br>
a bad one at that. Some things in Ruby aren't nearly as simple or<br>
as concise as you would find in Python.<br>
<br>
When it comes to "Web Frameworks" IHMO, I believe Python has<br>
a lot wide variety of tools available to you, not just Django,<br>
TurbotGears, Pylons, etc. (I can't comment on Ruby).<br>
<br>
Aside from my not liking some of Ruby's syntax or semantics<br>
I found Ruby on Rails to be awful. I went through it's turotial<br>
a few months back and didn't even make the first couple of pages<br>
before I got utterly bored with reading.<br>
<br>
So there you go...<br>
<br>
Sorry I can't offer you a real objective response!<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
James<br>
