Neither, use Aarch64 assembly

Ruby because it's named after a gemstone and not a snake.

Lua, it's faster and named for the moon.

more like hue lmao

Ruby is a better language, but besides Rails there is not much use for it. Python is everywhere.

Seconded this user, Lua is better

Python for life
Commit suicide

Python is bloated crap. Lua is elegant. Metatable class implementation is sexy

Shit, can't argue with that and I do actually prefer Lua. Why didn't I say I'm so stupid STUPID

Name 10 well known organizations using lua? If you think it's so great. None?

Python, snakes are cooler than gemstones

That's one of the least important metrics you could've brought up. Go forth and purge your life force from this planet.

Check mate

Neither. Use node.js

Check what? And I'm no mate of yours, pal.

Nah python is clean if you compare it with other common languages like golang, javascript, php (yes php7 too), and c# (yes c#6 too).

I think he meant to write 'Checkmate'

Wtf how did that b and x switch places?

>he thinks there's no such snake as a python

This is where he claims none (or few) of those are well known. Just watch.

>Why is Ruby so comfy?
Ruby is designed to make programmers happy. It solves all the small problems so you can focus on the problem you want to solve. You don't need to spend any time writing basic algorithms or modifying your problem so it fits into what the standard library has available. Ruby has you covered. That's why everything has so many methods.

>not using Guile or SBCL

It's great because it has an incredibly low memory footprint and JIT Lua is actually pretty fuckin fast.
It's syntax is dogshit tho

Ruby is pretty shit to setup on Windows.

>inb4 dev-ing on Windows
Man I just wanna work.

>dev-ing

The real word is only 4 characters longer, you pretentious idiot.

Alright, alright.
>inb4 developing on Windows.

It's used a lot for game scripting iirc

this is like choosing between cancer and terminal autism

Prove that node is more than a meme

...

In my experience Ruby is popular with amatures and Python is almost exclusively for lay people

But those basic problems have been implemented in every language in cross platform libraries

...it's your own fault for choosing to reinvent the wheel for the millionth time

This. Replace them with Trump and Hillary and I can't tell the fucking difference.
