I left python for ruby A dozen years ago.

I always missed the simplicity of Python.

Ruby community was just awesome. Pushing at the bleeding edge of getting stuff done fast, if a bit magical.

Been debating about going back. Cleaning up 8 year old magical ruby apps is getting old.

Off topic, but how do you evaluate whether you should switch stacks? I have lots of Ruby experience and am not that young anymore. The "easy" thing for me to do is sticking to Ruby, but I'm sometimes anxious about the availability of jobs 10-15 years from now.
Definitely worth a shot.

I've really enjoyed working with FastAPI in Python for web apps.
