Why is everyone making this Ruby vs Python? which is unproductive discussion.

I think the article has some good tips for people learning any new language(it can be python,ruby or anything). The tips most useful according me are:

1. Dedicate fixed time for learning

2. Find Good mentor.

3. Use recommended development practices from Day1

4. Learn Core Language first, then try frameworks

5. Write Code(that's the only way!)

I think that Ruby vs Python is the most useless debate ever. They're similar enough in design and capabilities as to not matter which one picks, so arguing about it is moot. Just pick one and go with it, and if you want to learn another, try a lisp.
