Two New Languages

I’ve been learning Ruby and Python lately – Python because it’s become required to dive into AI experiments, and Ruby because it’s a beautiful language.

Years ago I used Python in a cybersecurity class, and it’s nice, but I wish Ruby had become the AI language as it’s way more ergonomic and enjoyable. At least it has Rails for a practical application.

I’ve been reading the “pickaxe book” by Pragmatic Programmers for Ruby and “Learning Python” for Python – both classics apparently, and both an interesting read. Also started playing with scripts in PyCharm and RubyMine (JetBrains IDEs).
