A comment on Ask HN: Does Ruby offer better support for learning than Python?. Parent comment
Python is great if you just want to "learn programming." It's very noob friendly and there are tons of libraries.
Rails is great if what you really want is to learn web programming (and Ruby if you're learning Rails).
JavaScript is great if you want to learn UI programming for web and light mobile.
etc. etc.
Languages are just tools.
