David Heinemeier Hansson  (Ruby on Rails创造人)在一次对话中表示

当谈到"非主流"语言:
Adrian:"我们的回应是:
  人们学习PHP是因为要得到一份工作;
  人们学习Java是因为他们选修了计算机科学这门课;
  人们学习Python是因为他们爱这门语言,因为他们追寻美,(我相信这对Ruby也是适用的)
  如果我雇佣了一个Python程序员,他很有可能是优秀的程序员。"
David:"善!"

On using “not mainstream” languages:
Adrian: “Our response was: With PHP people learn that because they want to get jobs. With Java they learn that because they take computer science courses. With Python you learn it because you love it. Because you want to experience the beauty. I’m sure it’s the same way for Ruby. If I’m hiring a Python programmer the chances are that the person is good.”
David: “I totally agree.”
