IMO, Ruby is a better Python than Python. It's simpler, has a cleaner syntax, and if you want to do funky stuff metaprogramming can allow you to do cool, and sometimes unspeakable things. Python has great library support, and slowness and Rails did make Ruby unpopular for a bit, but I would love to see a Ruby resurgence that wasn't to do with Rails, because it is truly a lovely language to use.

Hell, I would say that in 2023, it's easier/faster to get something set up and working in Rails than it is with frameworks like Symfony, Express, ASP.NET, etc.
