I don’t think there is much of a comparison between Ruby and Python when it comes down to the web programming space. Both really do essentially serve the same purpose other than this.

Until that it is the case, life is kept simple with Rails.

Wow, what a nice read! I have had exactly the feeling you describe:

“I was now looking at Python in much the same way I looked at Java after I started using Python”

The same over here ;-)

I like your blog very much, i love to read not-strictly-technical sites (.e.g. which are mixing martial arts with programming ;-), not just programming with programming) , too - and there are a very few of them out there.
Thx for pointing me to it!
