I made it as far as ".... Python is the language of choice for serious developers" before I bailed.
I love Python, but let's not make this a True Scotsman fallacy.
- bitwize 14y agoThing is, Python is becoming rapidly the language of choice for scientists, statisticians, and other knowledge workers who only do a bit of development.
- drzaiusapelord 14y agoIts really just filling the vacuum Perl is leaving. I imagine if you had the choice to learn Perl or learn Python, you'd probably go with Python. The syntax and code just look so much more manageable.
- nsmartt 14y agoThat has no relation to the idea that "serious developers" use Python.

- PasserBy2 14y agoFor writing throw-away code that is. It's more of a scripting language than a development language. Unless you are a 'hawt' start-up in 'cisco'.
