Ask HN: Why do so many YC startups use Ruby on Rails and not Python

1 points by kzhaouva 11y ago ↗ HN

Hi everyone, I always see YC startups looking for Ruby on Rails developers on HN, rarely Python developers. What is the main reason behind this?

Probably because ruby is more popular among web developers?

There are plenty of YC companies that are python based. Dropbox, Disqus, and YesGraph to name a few.

That makes sense... and your are definitely right, quite a few YC companies use Python as well

Thanks for the response
