Ruby and Python are both scripting languages whose popularity has sky rocketed in recent years. Both languages are High-level, Garbage-collected, and Dynamically-typed. Both provide an interactive shell, standard libraries, and persistence support. So, what are the differences?

Points of comparison:

  • Language Features
  • Web programming environments
  • Features exclusive to each
  • Advantages of each over statically typed languages
  • Projects environments suited to each

Language Features

Private methods and variables

To make methods and instance variables private in Python, one always needs to write __ in front of the name. In Ruby, instance variables are private by default. Methods defined after the method call private are private.
