Check out the Ruby blog scene. It's a wonder they actually write any code in between the bragging about how awesome they are and slagging each other off.

So you're going to judge the entire Ruby community by like... 5% of their bloggers? :P

To be fair, "Pythonista's" were renowned for slagging-off most other languages, and in the same breath, claiming how very like LISP their Python is. Hopefully this attitude has died off...

Ruby developers (Rubyons?) were renowned for typical Japanese self-effacement when it was becoming popular, which I think was some of the appeal... I guess what goes around comes around...

Hey, now we can judge the entire Python community by tdavis's comments.

:)

shrug You certainly could! Though judging any group of people by my comments would certainly do a disservice to that group.
