"Python advocate"...pft.
I'm an advocate of open source tools. Who has the time or the motivation to be an advocate for one specific technology unless they're developing it themselves?
Don't get me wrong, I use Python on an almost daily basis and like the language. But the only "advocacy" I practice is by example.
- paulgb 18y agoI assumed he means "advocate" in the same way that someone is an advocate for their favorite music/movies. I see nothing wrong with that.
- jmtulloss 18y agoHaha, fine, an avid Python fan. In my world, which is dominated by C, C++, and Java, advocating agile technologies can be well worth my time.
- thomasmallen 18y agoI respect that. I think that the Ruby guys have bestowed upon me a healthy knee-jerk reaction to anything resembling fanboyism.
- jmtulloss 18y agoYeah, anytime I see "RoR", my eyes narrow.
