Not a lot of meat to this article. "Ra ra, python" with no real comparison to anything else. You could rewrite the article for Ruby or javascript and you'd really just be changing the names of the tools/libraries, the points could remain the same.<p>Generators? Hello Enumerators in Ruby and using simple callbacks in node.<p>Speed? Hello V8 for JS. Hello vast speed improvements in MRI, C extensions, or leaning on the speed of the JVM for Ruby/JRuby.<p>Broad? Javascript is probably the most widely deployed language on the planet, and by many measures the most used. Ruby trails JS, and maybe Python too, but its still plenty popular. Not to mention the depth of libraries for both is pretty stunning.<p>Javascript is not javascript, ruby is not ruby. There are a number of vastly different and wildly popular JS implementations, and embedding JS in other applications is plenty common. Ruby has MRI (CRuby), Rubinius, JRuby (which is much more active than Jython), mruby (embedded ruby), and opal for compiling ruby into JS, not to mention the heavy ruby influences on CoffeeScript and Sugar.js.<p>The articles points are all valid, but none of them really demonstrate that Python is the answer to the article's thesis question: "You are looking for a job, which language should you learn?"<p>That said, Python is great. I like Python. Just not a big fan of poorly argued fan boy articles.
