I'm a Python developer, and I've been deciding whether fighting the awful syntax of Ruby [1] and the complexity of Rails is worth the effort. I'm divided, because it looks like an awful mess that will take a long time to learn, but a lot of YC companies use it and a lot of HN'ers swear by it.

Is there a reason you didn't build your blog using Python (presumably with Flask or Django or the like), other than your existing familiarity with Rails?

Nope, that's it. We do have experimental internal apps we build in other languages, but most of our work is Rails apps.
