Ask HN: How to choose the right language

I don't understand, why does one need a beard for Python/Django? Is Ruby/Rails more hip?

I personally think he was being more tongue in cheek than anything. Basically if you need someone to tell you what to do here is an arbitrary metric for you to base your decision off. Beards.

I think he was referring to Rails being very structured, and Django giving you the flexibility to do it your way. It depends on your tastes; I prefer Ruby/Rails.

I don't have (or want) a beard, but prefer Ruby/Ramaze.

Luckily, in both Python and Ruby there are many choices for Web dev, so don't let that drive the language choice.
