Hey, I'm a Java/Java EE developer and I'm playing with Python these days. I like the Python language so much and I like its communities and the Django framework. My friends are about to open a Ruby/Rails shop and they are asking me to join them. I don't know what, sure I'm not leaving Java, but they are asking me to stop learning Python and concentrate on Ruby/Rails. The sad fact (at least to me), Ruby is getting a lot of attention these days. Why Python isn't getting this attention although is a much more mature language and it is used by many big, big names?
RoR peoples are good at marketing. And Ruby's object model is probably less alien - at least at first sight - to the Java crowd than Python's object model is.
But still, Python seems to get some serious exposure - at least outside of the Java world - these last monthes.
And do I dare to say it is much more charming? What do you think of Ruby/Rails? do they worth learning and working with?
Both are certainly worth learning. I can't tell about the "working with" part since I never used any of them for anything serious.
Any way, I'm not leaving Python and I will try to study it every time I get a chance... Thanks.
