Yes, certain super functional-style code is far easier to write in Ruby than in Python, but Python, despite its drive for simplicity, can be used in ways rather similar to Ruby.

Which is better Ruby or Python?

Python is faster than Ruby, but they’re both in a category of interpreted languages. Your fastest language is always going to be one that’s compiled down to byte code or object code right on the computer. Both Ruby and Python exist a level above that, they’re abstracted.
