Isn't it strange to compare Python/Perl to C and say that one is better than the other? It's apples to oranges. You wouldn't use Python or Perl to build an OS, and you wouldn't use C to prototype a web app.
- jmmcd 14y agoSure, but I said "like", not "better". When I learned Python, I had that feeling described as weightlessness by xkcd [http://xkcd.com/353/ http://xkcd.com/353/], because I didn't have to write several lines and a loop to make a list. It made me happy. Fair comparisons don't really come into it.
