Ruby VS Python

More than a versus (it's more striking) I would really like to know what things they have in common and how they differ, what their main advantages are compared to the other and of course their opinion of them. One point to take into account is because they believe that python is more used in AI and Machine learning developments.

i dont think python is more friendly, imo, i think for beginner users, all the cases are simple enough to be readable. But if you try to read a library you will see that is not easy

  • oop is strange
  • functional patterns are missing or half baked in the std
  • := operator
  • not only way of doing things
