Web Development with Python/Django or Ruby/Rails?

Question

I know the question has been asked multiple times, but I'm interested in taking a step further to master one of these. I enjoy Ruby more since it crosses over to my job (cyber security) but so does python. Other than the learning curve is there a difference between these two other than language?

What is your opinions on the best or one you prefer and why?

Answer 1

My personal preference would say Rubyonrails for it is both simple and powerful.

Answer 2

I prefer PHP. Powerful, rather easy and similar to other languages. I'd go with it and then branch out, because the object oriented aspect is rather... bad. (Try Java afterwards - it's basically immortal).

Answer 3

Python, but not Django. I prefer Flask. You can write your web page in HTML, render it in Flask, plug-in Python, and host using Nginx. Full stack:

Python 3.6; Back-end development
Flask; render webpage with Py support
Nginx; host on webserver

Answer 4

I prefer Django/python, because django comes with default security features

Answer 5

Give both a try.. pick one that appeals to your use case.
"personally that would be Ruby."
Though I hear Python has a plethora of libraries.

Answer 10

I am not here to say which is better, but to say have a look at NodeJS and PHP Laravel before deciding.

Answer 11

I've heard python is easier to learn, but I know the ground work of both. I'm looking for the most beneficial excluding the steep learning curve aspect of Ruby.

Answer 12

Django my friend..you try it first

Answer 13

I would prefer django bcoz its easy and simple .

Answer 14

I'm looking at going in to a few different programs, and they all say to get decent with Python first, then go to Ruby.

Answer 15

try PHP or django...ruby is kinda dying(collected).

Answer 16

Ruby is a good choice for a programming language. When you are looking at Scripting side of things, in addition to what you have? Then Python serves better
