One thing that bothers me about Python is that one of things they claim as a good thing about their language is that "it isn't Perl". And I have the same problem with both PHP and Ruby. Whenever I read a piece that's supposed to promote Python, PHP or Ruby, somewhere in the beginning they must remark how much better they are than Perl. They're just like Go players. They can't explain what's so great about their game either. But it's better than chess! Abigail
