Learn about new features, changes, and improvements to UpGuard: Python and Ruby are two of the best examples of the new generation of high-level languages which focus on simplicity and giving the programmer the ability to get things done fast, rather than syntax correctness and strict hierarchy (insert cough that sounds like “Java!” here). They are also both excellent for web development, more so when you take advantage of each language’s purpose-built web frameworks – Django for Python and Rails for Ruby.

There is a perception that Python is faster than Ruby, and this has often led teams to prefer it over Ruby for web development.

Here’s a look at some of the top libraries in the Ruby ecosystem: For Python, a who’s who of top libraries showcases the broader areas of focus where the Python programming language has made serious inroads, with a pronounced focus on areas related to data science: Python’s vast data science footprint continues to grow, and its data science libraries, in many ways the leading libraries in that respect, are growing in user adoption among Python developers.

For instance the Rails framework is constantly changing, and in fact many of the changes and new features in Python are first tested in Ruby.
