Being the introductory language of choice doesn't make it the language of choice. MIT kids learn the real stuff too.

- sketerpot 17y agoPython is "the real stuff", and I'm always annoyed by the snobbishness that leads some people to dismiss it. Python is an excellent language, with a large user base, and some compilers in the works. Just because C is hardcore and Lisp is amazing and Haskell is mind-exploding doesn't mean that Python isn't a great language.
