I learn Ruby after reading about it in many blog. At first it was just a curiosity because my favorite language was Python, but the more I learn the more I fell in love... Only couples day after learning my fist Ruby methods, I convinced my partners to switch our already started PHP project to Ruby on Rails :-)

Wow that is fantastic! I’d be curious to see that project if you can share! I’m always excited to interact with fellow Rubyists and their code!

Also, a follow-up question: what made Ruby different for you from Python? And how did you “sell it” to your partners?

My « sell » pitch was something like developer happiness and dev speed = project done quickly and with more goodies :-) Since this project need many overtime hours I ask to work with tool I love...
