Ruby's also a bad comparison because not many folks are running ruby on windows.

Huge chunks of industry and academia run python on windows (usually through (ana/mini)conda). That's a whole 'nother world of encoding hurt.

Especially around the 1.9 transition; Ruby was barely usable beyond the level of toy code on windows. The Ruby on Windows story is actually a lot better now.
