As a Python guy I never had any reason to need to learn Ruby. And even now that I'm playing around with it it's purely out of professional curiosity.

For what it's worth, Ruby has always been more about "want" than "need" for me. When I really need to get something done, fast, I'll choose Python; Python always seems to have an esoteric-but-very-necessary lib for every situation. But Ruby is where I want to spend my fun time.

Opinions will differ, of course. Both languages are tops.
