Disappointed at Python

Fibonacci number calculation

fibonacci.py:

def f(n):
    if n <= 1:
        return 1
    return f(n-1) + f(n-2)

print(f(30))

fibonacci.rb:

def f(n)
  if n <= 1
    return 1
  end
  return f(n-1) + f(n-2)
end

puts f(30)

What the fuck going on, Guido?  I am switching to ruby.

    public static void main(String args[])

        System.out.print(fib(30));
