Regarding ruby and python I thought the 2 were in the same league, esp compared to perl. Over 20 years ago I evaluated both and went ruby because of the more consistent api and of course pythons forced whitespace is an easy tie breaker against it. At this point I'm not to pleased that many younger programmers that python as some sort of default and tend to end up writing far too fancy code in it when it ends up being the wrong tool.
