I agree with an earlier reply, stop trolling, this is comp.lang.python,
not comp.lang.recruiting. If ruby is a good language, it will get people
interested on its own merits.

I've already looked at ruby, the main things that I didn't like are:
lack of first class functions, 'end' is required to end a function, and
ruby isn't as explicit as Python (it seems to me to cater somewhat to
P*** people).

For me and my programming style, Python is a better fit than Ruby.
