Hello all,
Re: Why did you switch from Python to Ruby?
I may not be the best qualified to answer this, because I looked at
Python, scowled, and ran before I got to do any serious programming, but
I have an interesting question you can ask yourself:
How many posts can you find on Google/Groups (Usenet) from people
stating they used to program in Ruby and switched to something else?
I would wager you will find zero. This isn't just pro-Ruby FUD, either,
I have a point to make. Everyone has a reason for plugging their
favorite language, and you will find arguments for every programming
language on the face of the earth, even the worst of the worst. So,
perhaps instead of basing your decision on the presentation of what
people have to say (who may not have the charisma to convince you and
you will run off with the wrong language), try looking around and
finding who left what languages for what reasons and weigh that information.
My point here is, I have yet to hear of a single person who left Ruby
for another scripting language.
I'm sure people have left Ruby for certain pragmatic reasons ("my job
requires me to write in Perl" or "Ruby just isn't as fast as assembly"),
but I have trouble imagining even one person leaving Ruby because it
wasn't a good enough script language for them. You can find people who
never tried it, or tried it for a day and missed their old language
Perl/Python/Bash/Basic so much they had to go back, but I doubt you can
find any Ruby-expatriates among the group of people who have given it a
solid try.
Go Google for people who left Ruby and count them and enumerate their
reasons, if any. Ponder that for awhile.
