On: What Pythonistas Think of Ruby

[viraptor]

Not sure what this snippet does, but if it creates a block that is registered as a task named "name", then you can do the same with decorators:

    def task(f):
       register_task(f.__name__, f)
       return f
    
    @task
    def name(t)
       .....

or similar.

[algorias → viraptor]

Exactly. I fail to understand why people are so dismissive of languages/approaches that do things slightly differently and don't implement equivalent things in the exact same way. What's so special about the rake syntax?
