#42So much for the fervent supporters of Lisp and Haskell around here...
Re: Poll: What is your primary programming language?
#43is Python really so much more popular than Ruby (RoR), or this is HN case? As I regularly check Germany startup jobs and see Python jobs much less than Ruby/ROR ones.
Tons of researchers (biology, physics, etc) use Python. It's not just startup jobs.

#44What is your favorite programming language: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3746692
Python won by quite a large margin, with 77% more votes than #2 Ruby!!!
Hopefully your primary and favorite programming language coincide -- mine definitely do after more than 10 years (Python). One of the good things about the job market these days is that you are less likely to be stuck working with some technology or language that you dislike.

#45Somehow i always suspected there would be far more Ruby developers in the HN community.
I'm not a ruby developer myself.
So: Did developers switch from Ruby to something else? I'm curious to which language.

#46My most favorites are Javascript and CSS3. Only reason I consider CSS3 somewhat a programming language is because of it's inheritance capabilities now.
Right now, I'm forced to work on Brightscript.

#47I've spent the last five years in Rails, but finally got the whole "the browser handles the MV* framework" thing with Node.js, and now I've converted myself totally to javascript. Write backend and frontend code in the same language? Yes please. Longing for that fantastically delicious Ruby syntax? Do everything in coffeescript.
"Write backend and frontend code in the same language? Yes please."
It's an awesome goal. I just wish that language wasn't Javascript...

#49Kinda surprised at the unpopularity of Objective-C (and to a certain extent, Java). Is mobile native app development dying?

#50Where is Bash ;( (half kidding. only half :P)
Why not? Unless a task is complex enough to take the time to write some Python, I'm doing most of my automation using zsh scripts.
