I think Ruby teaches a sense of style, but I'm not sure that style carries over to other languages. Python was my primary language for 12 years but I'm disappointed in the depth of Knowledge python Devs have. Most barely understand the language or try to. Ruby seems to coax people into coding into a ruby way. I like that.

Not super relevant, but my favorite fun fact about Python (specifically CPython) is that hash(x) where x is an int is always the value of the int - except for -1, because the underlying C function uses -1 to represent errors. So hash(-1) == -2, which means you have a hash collision right around 0 where hash(-1) == hash(-2)
