Python vs Ruby

gistfile1.md

In favour of ruby

  • Ruby allows lambdas that are longer than a single expression
  • Ruby doesn't have semantic whitespace. (Especially an issue when working in an interactive session.)
  • Ruby functions always return something, so more functions lend themselves to easy, legible chaining
  • Ruby doesn't require unnecessary specifications of both self and class to designate a member function
  • Ruby interpreter looks for rc files to customize your startup

In favour of Python

  • Python's numeric types are 64 bit
