  That is impressive performance, and steady progress. I have a renewed interest in Python since all the work for a new customer is in Python. I usually use Ruby, Clojure, Common Lisp, and Java - but, I am finding Python to be perfectly acceptable.

    I'm curious to know what about Python is 'acceptable' in comparison to Ruby? Does Ruby have capabilities that you find better?

      I decided 6 or 7 years ago that I "needed a scripting language" and used Python for about a half year. I then tried Ruby and found it more to my personal tastes, mostly because of blocks. No disrespect intended re: Python

    Personally I'm waiting for the Python 3 support to mature. That'll be the day: No longer will I be stuck between a speedy PyPy implementing crufty Python 2.x and a slower CPython implementing Python 3. Fortunately, progress is looking good: http://morepypy.blogspot.de/2012/06/py3k-status-update-4.html http://morepypy.blogspot.de/2012/06/py3k-status-update-4.htm...
