I chose python over ruby eons ago because, for whatever reason, ruby reminded me of perl (not a good thing). Something about the syntax turned me off. Rust has similar problems for me.

For me the continuity with Perl was the main attraction.

That's a surprise for me. I find Perl pretty unreadable, but sometimes I have to squint to tell Ruby from Python--and I code in both!
