In my view Python’s strength is it prioritises making how things work clear while Ruby’s strength is it prioritises making intent clear.

I actually wish there was something that struck more of a balance between these two philosophies. Ruby’s expressiveness is very nice but unless used carefully, can obscure what’s happening. Python’s clarity in implementation can make a piece of code clear in isolation but can get clunky.
