i wonder why sun doesnt support python and django in netbeans?

cause i am choosing between learning ruby/rails or python/django.

does this mean that i should use ruby/rails cause then support comes out of the box?

seems that other applications favor support for ruby over python.

  • It is kind of funny/sad that the answer to the original issue (why don't they support Python) might not score as high as the meta response of why let your IDE choose your language. – TheJacobTaylor Jun 05 '10 at 04:18

    It's pretty common, actually. As a community of people trying to help one another, we often try to bring more information to the table than just a minimal answer. We're not all in it purely to score reputation points, after all. – ʇsәɹoɈ Jun 05 '10 at 04:32

    Besides, the original post contains two questions. :) – ʇsәɹoɈ Jun 05 '10 at 05:30

Why let one particular IDE determine what programming language you learn?

I use python a lot, and Geany does what I need rather well. Other folks like heavier weight editors. Here's a list to get you started:
