Python and Ruby are a new generation, high-level, server-side scripting languages focusing on simpler, crispier and high-performance codes. Python was developed organically in the scientific community as a prototyping language that could easily be translated into C++ if a prototype worked. Python envisages a direct approach to programming. In Python, there is only one “best” way to do something. Ruby focuses on “human-language” programming. Its code reads like a verbal language rather than a machine-based one, which makes Ruby popular among programmers, both beginners and experts, alike.
