This question is only meant to apply to people who used to use Python, but switched to Ruby. Why did you do so? Motive for my question: I am language / platform shopping and comparing the pros and cons of Python, C#, and anything that comes up on the radar in the course of it. A lot of people who know about Python seem to know about Ruby. Someone in comp.lang.python suggested that I should ask this particular question here to get more complete opinions. The c.l.p people are mostly happy with Python and see few if any advantages to Ruby, although there is some discussion and dissention. -- Cheers, www.3DProgrammer.com Brandon Van Every Seattle, WA 20% of the world is real. 80% is gobbledygook we make up inside our own heads.
