Title: About 6 months ago I decided to learn either Python or Ruby because I wanted a language to write webapps and simple computergames fast.<p>I kind of tried both for a while and Python gave the better impression in every way, readability, ease of use, libraries, documentation, expressiveness etc.<p>But there are so many really enthusiastic posts about Ruby and while Python has a lot of users and is very popular and successful I rarely see anyone rave about it. But maybe that just means it has gotten mainstream.<p>But anyway I like the Python philosophy that there should preferrably be one obvious way to do things. 
While similar in most ways, there the languages differ.<p>So, what do you Rubyists like so much about Ruby? Especially what do you think Pythion lacks?
