IMO, Ruby is a better Python than Python. It’s simpler, has a cleaner syntax, and if you want to do funky stuff metaprogramming can allow you to do cool, and sometimes unspeakable things. Python has great library support, and slowness and Rails did make Ruby unpopular for a bit, but I would love to see a Ruby resurgence that wasn’t to do with Rails, because it is truly a lovely language to use.
Hell, I would say that in 2023, it’s easier/faster to get something set up and working in Rails than it is with frameworks like Symfony, Express, ASP.NET, etc.
Can you elaborate on the python part? I’m not a programmer ( I don’t work in the field but I studied programming in high school) but I see python mentioned everywhere, is the language obsolete?
It’s not obsolete, it’s very good, still is. Just that Flask and Django both built on top of Python. So if it’s like late 90s or early 00s. Definitely before either Django / Flask. Python isn’t the new and thing of 2022.
Isn’t Wordpress powering like 40% of the internet? PHP isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
For me the weirder part of that meme is Python in 2022?
12 years after we learned Flask. 19 years after Django, which also was apparently hot 2 years before it was released.
Maybe all the AI stuff?
Its like the C of web, it’ll be a hundred years to kill it

Yeah, and node was skipped for some reason.
Django (python framework) is almost 20 years old.

Was this supposed to be a joke?

This just isn’t true though lol, python is one of many.

I think python is actually the oldest on that list… ??
Python based web frameworks like Flask are a lot newer

In 2020 it was used at least in part on over 80% of websites according to w3techs.
