summary
States that Ruby and Python are more similar than different, demonstrating with side-by-side person class code, map/filter examples and exception traces; claims Python often runs a bit faster and shows first-class functions and lambdas limited to one line while Ruby keeps superior blocks and metaprogramming. Points out practical tool differences: Django/Flask and numpy/scipy ecosystems, JVM options and Windows friendliness, and a hiring anecdote of ten times as many responses to Python job postings.
