It's sad to think that you draw generalizations from the people with the loudest voices.

It might be sad, but I don't blame him. The signal-to-noise ratio for Python related material is higher than for Ruby in my experience.

It's funny that the reputations used to be reversed; that the Python community was insular and unfriendly to newcomers, and the Ruby community was welcoming and helpful.

What you can clearly see between the tenors of the two communities is that there is more surface-level drama in the Ruby community.

What that has to do with anything professional, I have no idea. I read Ruby blog posts and mailing list entries, but I don't write them; I write code (and here) instead.

Python has a community?

Python might not have as many bloggers as a hip language like Ruby, but by community I mean people contributing to open source python projects, writing papers that use python, etc.
