I'm curious how people can put down vote on my comments. According to the guide line from HN, down vote is only available for people who have enough karmas.

BTW, if you are not happy to hear that, I'd like to know your opinion.

I didn't downvote, but I'm guessing it's the jab that "Ruby and Python are quick and easy, but that's not for real production systems."

There are tons of high-profile sites using ruby or python in production. Reddit is written in Python, Twitter got quite a bit of mileage out of Ruby...

There is a lot of teenagers with high enough karma around :)

I don't look down on teenagers if they are able to build websites using those languages. Maybe this type of exercise is really good or suit for them. And definitely coding is the no. 1 skill they occupy.

What I'm talking to are the hackers who are aiming for running startup companies and those who are going to grow to be software engineers.
