[ruby-talk:23406] Re: Ruby and Python: a fuzzy question
Python and Ruby both are write/read scripting languages, which are in one or
the other way "pragmatic" and rather similar.
A language is pragmatic if the language itself is pragmatic and there are
tools existing supporting it. This applies to Python, but yet not to Ruby.
When there's an IDE available for Ruby with visual debugger support (Black
Adder is very promising in this regard, but is itself beta now for 2 or more
years; Komodo will be there first probably), I'll give Ruby a *real* try
("Always step thru your code", you know...).
I tried Ruby for several times now (since end of 2000), but I simply am not
one of those, who's able to program within an ASCII editor, doing all
debugging by scattering all those prints or puts' onto my code. I even found
programming Perl tolerable when I discovered that there is a possibility to
start-up a visual debugger.
What about the language itself? Well, I find Ruby's blocks appealing, but
can't say much more yet. When I will have worked more than 45 minutes ;-)
with Ruby, I can say more, until then I cannot.
Anyway, languages are tools. And any programmer should have more than one
tool in his bag of tools. So you'll not find me fighting language wars.
You'll find me using languages, not fighting for them or against them.
Best regards
