:'( I just looked at some python code.. omg... this is horrible.. how could such a language be that popular.. indentation is part of the syntax ? omg, the last language I know of that has indentation as part of the language is... COBOL... I'm telling you, it might be better, but if we go that way, I think it won't be 'amsn' anymore... yes, even if we go into 'C mode', it won't be the same 'amsn' spirit, but hey, C is closer to our phylosophy than python... at least mine... anyways, choosing the language is part of the design, and it shouldn't (of course) be based on our 'feeling', I personally heard SO MUCH about python, and I always hated it without knowing it, but I first saw some python code today, and I think I wasn't that wrong, it's 'degueulasse' ... choosing the language will be done in the design part, but my vote goes against python, I would say C, I can vote for part of it in Tcl/Tk (a mix of languages), I'm against Java, but could also be flexible for java stuff, but python, I'm against it... I just hope my vote will be meaningful and will be taken into consideration (I don't want to be a dictator and refuse the language only because I personally don't like it even without knowing it)...
