[ruby-talk:02940] Re: What our Python friends are up to.

Right on the money.

I know python although I'm not a frequent user. I just started to follow
what's in here, but still I'm missing the point: What is special in Ruby?

So what will I benefit, if I start to use Ruby instead of Python? What will
I lose?

Just a few lines is enough. Thanks!

Kari
