How should we choose between Python and Ruby?

How should we choose between Python and Ruby?

I plan to learn a scripting language, but I don't know which one to choose. After searching for information on the Internet, it is difficult to choose between Ruby and Python. So I will list others' comments, choices, and opinions, for reference by yourself and others;

Narrow search range, subjective direction, not necessarily comprehensive, for reference only, don't like it!

Advantages of Python:

Python is a language worth learning;

Ruby is newer than Python, so Python supports more widely and more users;

Python is the preferred scripting language for linux;

Python is implemented in almost all linux and other operating systems;

Python is written in C, at least not more difficult to learn than C;

The Python library is rich, especially the built-in library, which is much better than Ruby;

Many Python libraries are designed to copy UNIX functions, which are too familiar to programmers working in UNIX environments;

The usage of Python on Unix is almost the same as that of C/C ++, which is much better than that of Java;

Python virtual machines are faster than Ruby, and thread support is a real thread;

Python can run on almost any platform, as long as there is a compiler that supports C;

The Python library is rich;

Python documentation is also good now. The most important thing is that Python Tutorial is well written;

Currently, almost all companies allow you to use Python (many Ruby companies cannot use it );

For new projects, we recommend using Python2.6 (I will not use 3.xbecause many libraries do not support 3.x );

Almost all of the places where Perl can be used can be replaced by Python. Learning Python does not require learning perl;

Ruby advantages:

Ruby is relatively new, indicating that it draws on the advantages of other scripting languages and discards its dregs;

Python syntax is not as good as Ruby;

Ruby is the most elegant syntax in script design;

Ruby's document design is much better than Python's, and Python's documents are really not easy to use;

Ruby is a language I recommend so far;

Python does not seem to be suitable for writing common software. It is indeed suitable for writing software that needs to process a large amount of data, so the application scope is relatively narrow;
