Somehow it's strange that a language difference as modest as between Python and Ruby should isolate people to the point where they can't fit in even on a 12-week retreat. I mean, that would probably happen to me if I went to a Ruby gathering, but it seems kinda wrong, a waste of talent that could be pooled and applied to more advanced projects instead.

On the other hand, maybe it's precisely because the two languages are similar?
