As to the Ruby section of DaniWeb being located in the Web Dev section-- well, thankfully we at least have a Ruby section (something I rallied for some years ago).

Interestingly enough, Python is located in the Software Dev section I believe; personally, I put Python and Ruby on the same level, although I prefer the beauty and speed of Ruby by far after using Python extensively.
