It used to be that Python programs were shorter, faster, readable,
writable, and simply better.  But, this was during the days when most
programmers had Unix background.  Nowdays, most of the programmers are
coming from Windows background, and Python programs have become as
verbose and unreadable as Visual Basic or Perl.

Ruby has not been corrupted as such.  It make complicated thing less
complicated.  But, it still make simply thing not as simple as Python.
