Forced To Switch From Ruby To Python

Some users are required, usually for professional reasons, to work with PythonLanguage despite it not being their preferred language.

  • For work, because I assumed that I'd like PythonLanguage just fine at the new job. And to a point, I suppose I do - I'm not about to quit over it, at any rate. Still, there are so many things about Python that just continue to irritate and disappoint me, no matter how long I spend writing it. I still write most of my "for fun" code in RubyLanguage (and none in Python).

If you complain too much, you will be rewarded with COBOL ;-)

Contrast: SwitchedFromRubyToPython

I'm too lazy to do this at the moment, I should probably create a ForcedToSwitchFromPythonToRuby? page. Where I work, I'm about to be "forced" to switch from Python to Ruby...forced is probably too strong of a word, because I acquire data, and am free to use whatever language I want. Pending board approval, we're going to switch the front end of our product from the current HTML-JavaScript-I'm-not-sure-what-else debacle to Ruby-on-Rails with Java backend. I voted for Ruby, though, because it was either that or PHP. Thus, it's an interesting situation, and probably a little too early to make a ForcedToSwitchFromPythonToRuby? page anyway! :-)
