Because beautiful control structures and a REPL ?
- pjmlp 12y agoThere are many languages that offer that alongside an AOT compiler to native code.
- bch 12y agoWell sure -- but I guess considering Python at all suggests you want or need to. Python control and the REPL are _fine_ reasons to use it. To be clear though, I'm a Tcl-er, but I use it in exactly this context. I meant my comment to stand along the other sibling comments.
- slantedview 12y agoI'm not sure that these are compelling reasons to use Python, given the alternatives. Squeezing performance out of Python often involves dropping down to C. This isn't the case with the competition.
