Subject: Re: Why should I learn ruby?

Hi,

I was faced with the same decision a few years ago. The reason I chose 
Ruby over Python was that I found it just a bit more mature and elegant. 
For example, object orientation in Ruby is very consistent and clear: 
Every value is an object, almost everything is done using methods. In 
Python, it seems rather bolted on (no implicit "self", heavy use of 
global functions). I also don't like the concept of significant 
whitespace at all, since it makes the syntax rather "fragile" in my 
opinion. I do appreciate well formatted code, but I don't want to 
struggle with spaces and tabs just because the interpreter forces me to.
