Python vs Ruby - IronPython or JRuby?

Python vs Ruby - IronPython or JRuby?

I'm having troubles deciding the one I'll start with though. From what I read, I figured it's best to go with either IronPython or JRuby. I'm familiar with both Java and .Net (C#, vb, and soon to come c++). Can anyone point out the big practical differences between the two? Which one has the best dev tools, which one the biggest market, and which one is the least likely to die off? Thnx in advance! Cheers Jeroen De Dauw

Ruby is exceptionally powerful, and likes to be as object-oriented as possible. Both are open source, both have web frameworks (Rails for Ruby, Django for Python). Python uses indentation to delimit blocks, Ruby uses {} and do/end. Ruby takes after Perl in a lot of its idioms. Python strives to have "one obvious solution" to a problem.
