"Some people prefer python more, but it kinda comes down to personal preference, as they just like the python-way better." Python seems a good choice. I myself decided to use Ruby because of matz and the philosophies. I try to find beauty in my code. I left PHP because it was horribly inconsistent. There was nothing beautiful about it. "What are your thoughts on Ruby?" Ruby is a very good language. I say about 80-90% perfection. For my taste, it is a bit too complex, and some things like module vs. class distinction don't make that much sense to me. But I am ok with those drawbacks. The speed to python is comparable. If you however feel that ruby is too slow, the same applies for python and perl. So then, use C. Not a scripting language if speed bites your butt. "Have you been using it in some bigger projects?" Yes. In big projects, other problems come up. For instance, documentation. I dont like rdoc at all. Also some ruby projects tend to become complicated, like rails. I try to make everything as simple as possible, whenever possible. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
