Author here. Interesting! I personally write almost Python exclusively and find Ruby to be awkward in many ways. I'm learning Ruby, so if that comes through, maybe cause I'm learning it and more excited about new concepts? :)

You've highlighted the idiomatic differences in the language design and how each lends itself to a different style of thinking. Neat.

Same here. I thought it was well balanced and interesting.

May I know what GP means? It's the first time I see it.

"Grand Parent" to refer to a post two levels up, though sometimes it's used contextually to mean whatever-post-that-started-off-this-thread (vs. "OP" or "Original Post(er)" for the top-level post).
