Why everyone loves Python: (I never get tired of evangelizing Python =)

Eric Raymond @ Linux Journal

“I was generating working code nearly as fast as I could type. When I realized this, I was quite startled.”

“in Python, I was actually dealing with an exceptionally good design. Most languages have so much friction and awkwardness built into their design that you learn most of their feature set long before your misstep rate drops anywhere near zero. Python was the first general-purpose language I’d ever used that reversed this process.”
