Character Sketches
Python
Everyone's first love and nobody's last. Python's beauty is the beauty of clarity, indentation is structure, the most readable way is the correct way, and a newcomer can read someone else's code without a tutorial.
Ruby
The poet who became a startup founder. Matz designed Ruby explicitly to maximize programmer happiness, and it shows. Everything is an object, every expression returns a value, and blocks let you express ideas with a rhythm that feels literary.
