ruby_FAIL

When I almost always see this:

python_WIN

It’s a matter of convenience for me.  It has nothing to do with any of the magic of Ruby, or my sadistic love for the whitespace of Python.  Instead, my choice is delegated to me by the sysadmins who control the boxes that I use.  On my personal machines I run both interpreters, and often jump between the two languages to keep my skillz up.  But, when it comes to production environments I’m a Pythonista.

And I’m OK with that.
