In my opinion it doesn’t matter which language you use as long as it’s the right tool for the job . Usually this goes for familiarity of either who you can hire and or you.

Python has some obvious syntax weirdness and Ruby looks like it encourages more DSL and that might make it closer to lisp.

But, Python has so many more libraries and a good editor can help you manage the white space indentation . Also Python scales well too.

To be honest I rather have some kind of different framing of this. Instead of an argument it could have been a comparison but that doesn’t get people to click the link.

And "the right tool for the job" is of course language one knows and loves ;)
