Subject: Re: How's ruby compare to it older brother python

I don't really mind this type of question a whole lot, but it does occur a
lot. Personally, I think it's best dealt with links to existing discussions.

There's no need to discuss this topic over and over when there are archives
where it has all been said. It doesn't take any longer to read the archives
than it does to read new posts saying the same things.

Plus this particular topic attracts more trolling than the average ruby-talk
thread, so they tend to grow huge with people making personal attacks at each
other.

I don't really think flaming the question was entirely appropriate, but
perhaps someone should collect a bunch of links to old ruby-talk posts and
other resources so we can have a canned response to this topic and leave it
at that.
