Don't underestimate the culture differences between the Ruby and the Python communities.

With Ruby, you are expected to update frequently. New ruby versions are eagerly awaited and all the major packages are updated pretty quickly.

Python is just a more fractured community, for reasons that have never really been that clear to me.

But it doesn't harm the point I was getting at, which is that being a dynamic language doesn't give Python an excuse compared to Rust in itself when there are highly successful adjacent examples. Obviously there are other factors that come into play, or it would be ancient history by now.
