Python or Ruby ??!

Answer 1

Python is the lingua franca of data science - a job named the sexiest one this decade. If you are interested in machine learning, neural networks, image/video recognition and artificial intelligence - go for Python.

I hear Ruby also has some ML libraries and you can do stuff with it, but surely Python has it more robustly developed already. This is definitely the future of data science.

Answer 2

Python.

Then again, you didn't mention what your intent is, so it's hard to tell you which tool best fits for the job. As such, I told you which one I hate less between two things that I hate. ;)

Answer 3

depends on what you wanna program !

Answer 4

I see more job posting wanting Python skills as opposed to Ruby.

Answer 5

Ruby is only valuable on a programming job if you know Rails. Businesses don't use Ruby for apps. Even though the languages do the same things, businesses always use Python over Ruby because it is what everyone already knows. Any advantages of Ruby are considered negligible compared to that. if performance was the concern then C++ or Java would be used instead.

Answer 7

@Zahid Mehmood Would you be so kind to compare Python and SQL? Oh, wait the question is about Python and Ruby? Then would you be so kind and compare CSS and a rabbit? ;-) (BTW, if we touched Java anyway... why big enterprise level information(al) systems are mostly using Java and not Python?)

Answer 8

More power: you can not just "import essay" ;-)

Answer 9

Python.
Python is really useful and is one of the Google-recommended trinity languages.

Answer 10

It can all depend on the use. if you are in company that need to handle client products very fast and easy ruby is good. however, as most of you said, python can handle more advanced stuff than ruby does.

Answer 11

Python gives you more power with less code.
1. "Hello World" in Python:
print "Hello World"

2. "Hello World" in Java:
class Helloworld {
public static void main(Strings args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
