Ruby and Python are the only two ecosystems that seem to prioritize developer happiness. They're a pleasure to work with. So they're not going to die anytime soon.


Python might be popular but developer happiness isn't a concept I'd associate with the language. There's no joy in being limited to single statements in lambdas, for example.


Python is somewhat pleasure. Ruby might as well be sandscript as far as I'm concerned. The use of pipes is gross, uncoordinated and lacking direction.
