I've worked with both for years and one thing that always bother me is implicit over explicit in RoR. It can seems easy to write code and it's faster because of that, but reading code is harder, there is too much magic. Given that we spent more time reading code than writing code I prefer the python way.

I've been a Rails dev for almost 10 years and the magic is the worst part. When something just works but I expected another hour of work, I feel like I've fallen into a trap. So, instead of just moving on, I look in the documentation for what just happened.

When you find yourself interacting with the magic parts, it is imperative that you comment what is going on so the next dev, which will probably be you, isn't also surprised.

I could agree with this but I think we're comparing here Django with Rails (the frameworks) not the languages.

But yeah, if I had an option I'd prefer things to be more explicit.
