Why bother learning another language that is almost the same, like PHP and Ruby?
Why bother learning another language that is almost the same, like PHP and Ruby? In both you need to keep up with lots of dependencies and practices that keep popping up, and it's a waste of time doing it for both in parallel. I'd say it's better to focus on one language, and if it becomes obsolete I don't see why you couldn't just dedicate a week to master the other one. And anyway I don't see how one of those languages could become obsolete without the other one also becoming obsolete, unless their development stopped for some reason.
