Down-mod if you want, but I've been running a 20 employee company for more than six years and have recently moved contract work from PHP to Python due to the unprofessionalism in the Ruby community (I would have preferred Ruby if it had a better scene).
Our internal products are also mostly PHP or Python. Same reason.
I'm sorry you ran into unprofessional people in the Ruby community, and you're perfectly within your rights to use whatever technology best suits you and your business, but comments like this are inflammatory and counterproductive.
Fortunately, you moved from PHP to another good language - most of us in the Ruby world have a lot of appreciation for Python. You never hear good Ruby people badmouthing Python. Programming language selection doesn't have to be based on ad hominem.
All the flaming of other language communities has turned me a bit off Python -- your comment here is an example.
Disclaimer: I haven't written a page of Ruby code but read a book or two, if I change language environment again it will probably be something functional.
(Please keep the language wars on slashdot, or something. :-( Too low information/noise ratio.)
Edit: Idiom in better English.
What's the beard coverage fraction at your company?
"Jesus. Socrates. Plato. What did they have?"
The bartender shrugs.
"I'll tell you. Sandals, that's what. Most all your great thinkers had great footwear."
Beards and sandals? Could be the basis for the next programming evolution.
