It’s really surprisingly difficult to jump between Python and Ruby. And Rails and Django. They are just similar enough that you think the switch shouldn’t be so tough but all the differences really bite you. Whereas jumping into a completely different ecosystem like JS or Go you don’t have the part of your brain telling you “this isn’t that different, you’ll be fine, look for something familiar.”

Same for me between R's data-frames and Python pandas' data-frames, they kind of do the same thing but they're also just different enough to make switching hard, you're constantly stuck in an uncanny valley
