The real Ruby vs. Python

I for one will not even look at
a library that hasn't had a release in 2004.

This is a very strange comment, in my opinion. A

library may

simply function as intended and thus, not need an

update.

That is true. I suppose I was exaggerating a bit. I
should've said that I won't touch a library that isn't
"stable" unless it's obviously being developed so that
it will end up at that point eventually.

So, this is what it comes down to for me... Which
language offers what I need in terms of libraries?

If you're chief interest is an impressive store of

modules, I

seriously doubt anything tops the CPAN.

Certainly not my "chief" interest. What I want is
Ruby, with mod_ruby (or somesuch for Apache on
Windows), and a module for PostgreSQL. Yep, I think
that about covers it. However, it's like pulling teeth
to find a package that doesn't have to be compiled, if
source code even exists for windows. Ugh.
