I am trying to analyze his choice of Python.
Python in my opinion, is a practical language, not a fun language.
Perl, Ruby and Groovy are all in my opinion more fun and interesting to work with than Python.
Perl is my opinion, hardcore and the Perl community is again in my opinion by far the most interesting.
Ruby, well, its hip! I guess, and all the girl developer are using it.
Groovy combines Java's practicality and the fun of using a dynamic language with advance feature, like closure! or Groovy's definition of it
Python, well, yea okay they have Django and TwistedMatrix, other than that I believe Python can destroy more careers than Java, C++ and Visual basic combined, the community is so dry and the language is so boring ... which I believe makes it an effective deterrent to any free-spirited individual
Python was one of the first languages I tried, and I have to say that it knocked me out! and I am still recovering! The Python community just killed my enthusiasm to be a programmer.
What I believe killed Ron's career, is that he never cared if Programming was fun! And it seems he still don't!
Lisp is smart, intellectual and intrigues you to think, but not very usable and the brackets thingie, its annoying.
Python is not thought provoking at all but very usable and practical.
Perl, Ruby and Groovy are both!
