The prototype of the system, what is the best way to write? (Python or Ruby)

Question

ruby

I often hear that we first write a prototype quickly in Python, test it, and if everything is ok, rewrite it in Java. I would like to know what is the fastest way to make a prototype? In the context of data models, I find it more convenient and faster to use Ruby (for example, the implementation of Active Record from RoR). Who will say anything about this? Who tried to write prototypes in both languages?

Answer 1

RoR(Ruby) and Django(Python) are almost equally good for prototyping. Do what you know best. The rest is holivar.

Answer 2

Well, in general, for prototyping, and not alpha / beta releases, etc., you can use Axure RP

Answer 3

The prototype implies a tyap-blunder anyhow it worked and the customer saw the basic principle of work. It is done very quickly, it is done as simply as possible, it is done without fabrication.
And now the question is: On what _you personally_ write
1. quickly
2. as simply as possible
3. without making
some hypothetical system? By answering this question, you will also answer your own.
Well, so that they don’t say that I didn’t answer: the prototype is written (I don’t take into account people who want something new) in the language in which a person writes it as quickly and with minimal effort.

Answer 4

A language won't make your project better, and shit code can be written in any language.
1. The prototype is better and faster to write on what you know better yourself / the team.
2. Use a mature framework with a large number of extensions, an active community, in the language that you yourself / the team know best.
