That's overall true, but the pervasive use of blocks (as crippled as they may be) and a culture of metaprogramming, as well as some Perlish inheritance (I would guess) can lead to significant differences in ways of working, code being produced and community building.
Ruby and Python are very similar syntactically and semantically, but have greatly diverge socially.
