[ruby-talk:5346] Is Ruby "enough better"?
Hi. First of all, please don't flame me, or misinterpret my question. I am quite sure that you people receive questions regarding Ruby in comparison to other languages all the time, but that is not what I am after. The question I am formulating is related to Python (as Python seems to be the closest match, due to its OOP features, and being both scripting languages), but it is not related to whether Ruby is better than Pyhon, but rather to the question of if the differences really are so great, that the switch is worth it. Python has the undeniable advantage of: * more libraries. * more books (3-4 for Python, one coming up for Ruby). * more online documentation. * a larger established user base (hey, programming alone is no fun). * at least one "killer app" (I am of course talking about Zope). * more commercial support (several companies are using Python/JPython internally). So, having all of the above present., is Ruby really a "so much" better language to the extent that it is worth it to make the switch? Because I don't know about you, but I am not willing to learn YAL (Yet Another Language), just because a few better quirks or eye candy. If I am switching to another language, it really have to be substantially and noticeably better than the previous one. There, I've said it. I am really curious about your answers, I've been reading a lot of Ruby articles, but I have really not grokked it's apparent "Holy Grail of programming"-ness. I am sure that I am not the only one. Please enlighten me. :-) / Gabriel Lima
