@clacke @array @a13cui for me, I liked Python the language, but hated the deployment model and breaking changes. To get consistent development and production you often had to turn to virtual environments and could not depend on the "system" python. This was especially true when many distros still bundled python2 but everything needed to be in python3 as demanded by real world users. Ruby bundler felt cleaner than that, and ruby could be monkey-patched with language feature backports.
