What's better about Ruby than Python?

That's the thing I like most about Ruby. But I couldn't get past its
Perl-like syntax and the garbage collector (the latter when mixed with
embedding).

Anyway, since Ruby 1.8.0 is (finally) out, I'll try it again to see if it
can be a viable alternative to Python (at least on some areas), but I doubt
it. Python, as a multiparadigm language, is quite unique on its approach,
and it seems much more fit to large projects than Ruby.
