Advocacy: "Python up, Ruby down".

[Paddy]

I found this blog post on one users migration to Python. It states one
users frustrations but the comments section is quite good too.

The time and effort the developers spend on the balance between fixing
what we have over adding new features is hard, but it did pay off for
this programmer who was lured over by a more robust implementation and
good documentation.
