Of course I understand why people use python if that's where the jobs or better pay are, I have no confusion there! Or for that matter, if that's where the libraries for doing certain kinds of work, like machine learning as you mention, are. None of that is a mystery, as reasons to use python.
Such as end and lower casing variables.
Another factor to mention, Python has some specific use cases, like machine learning which I can only effectively learn by using Python. I actually managed to secure a 30k pay raise by learning Python in my spare time.
Anything I can do in Ruby, I can already do in NodeJS. If I ever run across an employer who would offer 30k or 40k more for me to learn Ruby, I would definitely jump at the opportunity.
