I had similar thoughts on this. A lot of people express interest in learning how to program. The problem is that the majority of things out there are don't explain why, and choosing which language or framework to use ends up being a flip of a coin.

I know this is how I chose to start programming in Python back in the day. More or less flipped a coin between it and Ruby because there wasn't anything I could find that explained why one might be better or worse for what I wanted to accomplish.

Yes it can be tough - I agonised over Python and Ruby too, there was a lot going for them both, but in the end I followed my heart as I just felt more comfortable with Ruby :)

Thanks for the comment!
