For web development, Ruby has Rails and Python has Django. Both are powerful frameworks, so when it comes to web development, you can't go wrong with either language. Your decision will ultimately come down to your level of experience, if you have no experiences in any then that perfectly fine! It's more what you plan to do.

If you plan to focus on building web applications, Ruby is popular and flexible. There is a very strong community built upon it and they are always on the cutting edge of development.

If you are interested in building web applications and would like to learn a language that's used more generally, try Python. You'll get a wide range community and lots of support.

Personally i'd choose Python but at the end of the day it's down to you!!

Good luck with your chose! :)
