Amaranth: Why Ruby ==================
... shortened ...
I don't say: Let's use Ruby. What I say is that learning something new takes time. Sometimes a lot of time. Do we have enough time?
Do you have enough time to start from scratch, go it on your own, and ignore the efforts of other distros?
I didn't say that we need to start everything from scratch. We even can't.
I would give such things as "What do other distros use for such things?" and "Which language lets us re-use more existing code/projects?" more weight than "What do we know in-house?" in the decision process.
Yes, you're right, these are *also* absolutely valid questions and pieces of information to be taken into consideration. Maybe we should try to explore how the "other" distributions do it and whether we like that or not.
I'm sure a bunch of Ruby coders can pick up Python easy enough, but starting from scratch vs. leveraging as much as possible from existing external efforts isn't the way to ensure the long-term success of the project.
IMO another approach would be to try both languages and, let's say, after 2 or 4 weeks..., reevaluate what we've done and how it worked.
