Arguments about the “superiority” of Python vs Ruby always sound a bit like arguments about the “superiority” of Italian vs Spanish. If you squint a bit they’re basically the same.

(By that simile, Lisp would be Sanskrit?)

True, but 85 million Italian speakers vs 500 million Spanish speakers so that tells you something. Sure the Roman Empire was big back in the day but the time has passed.

And yet I can only read Dante’s original work in Italian!
