What is better? Ruby or Python?

Answer 1

I think if one programming language was better than the other one in every way (easier to learn/read, faster, more memory-efficient etc.), the other language would be dead within a couple of months time because nobody in their right mind would want to learn it...

Answer 2

python is more powerfull than ruby....but every programming language are better.....if you do your best on them

Answer 3

It depends on what is your objectives learning it...

Answer 4

about who is faster depends on what you wanna do. Ruby is faster in loops and Python is much faster in string and arrays.

Answer 6

but sometimes phyton is quite hard to read... im confused with phyton...

Answer 7

Considering the world's requirements,python is getting more and more valuable than ruby

Answer 8

I prefer python. There are hundreds of free modules available. Programmers and time will decide which one is better. Its a process of natural selection. Ruby on Rails made Ruby popular but Python has Django. Sketchup might have helped Ruby as well. But I don't know any framework based on Ruby for scientific stuff as compreensive as python. Python has lots of things. Look up for PythonXY. If you're looking for speed, try numba. Or even c/c++ combined with python. Python is also a good high level integrator.

Answer 9

python is fun (and scientific)
ruby is productive

But Golang is faster than both of these.

Answer 10

You can't compare them. They do have huge differences and it depends on what project you're aiming.

Ruby, this is easy for learning, but Puthon is more popular.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Python is not much faster than Ruby. Since version 1.9, Ruby has started to catch up Python in performance (Current Ruby version 2.5.1).

Answer 14

it depends on your object that what kind of object you used.

Answer 15

I heard that ruby is a very „beautiful“ language.
With Python, which is gaining popularity like no other language, it might be easier to advance into AI though. I myself only can use python yet.
Check out the stackoverflow survey on programming languages. It also kinda shows real world needs, if you take it with a grain of salt :)

Answer 16

Ruby

Answer 17

Ruby is more powerful than Python in terms of language features, but Python has a greater community, is simpler, and is easier to learn. Both can be used as general purpose language inclusive for scripting.

Answer 18

python is a stronger coding program yet Ruby is faster if you want to create coding loops

Answer 19

Python works faster than Ruby, it has more possibilities and is more widely used and has bigger support. Tho Python is little harder to learn than Ruby, but it's just my personal opinion :)

Answer 20

defend whats you objectiv learn
