python is the more marketable skill, of python vs. ruby.

i rarely write code any more but when i do it's Perl with Net::DNS.
this, also, is a less marketable skill than python and pydns, at this
stage of the game.

if you're doing this for love, try them all (ESPECIALLY "go"!) and see
which one grabs you.

if you're doing it for relevance and compatibility and code re-use and
code sharing, use python.
