    There are literally dozens of us.

    Ruby feels a lot like writing poetry. Especially with microframeworks like Sinatra.

    Python feels more like writing JS/ECMAScript without any punctuation.

    Then again I cut my teeth on Actionscript (1 ugh, 2 ooo, and 3 nice—oh the iPhone doesn’t support it…), so my opinion is probably pretty worthless.

      I don’t know Ruby enough to judge, but I’ll have to say, hard disagree on this particular statement for me. JS to me feels like a bastardized C with some functional-inspired syntax tacked on top, while Python feels like writing English.
