I think the most exciting thing is the breath-taking pace he has chosen. I mean, wow, we've been going for what, five days now and we're up to for loops? Woo! So far, even for his stated purpose, he's at negative value vs. just reading even the simplest tutorials for the languages. The value in Perl<->Python documentation is to help with idiom translation, syntax is truly trivial. At the rate he's going, he'll get out of Negative Value and start entering Colossal Waste Of Time in about a month. So good on you, Xah Lee. The world needs more people producing things of negative value and posting them everywhere they can. Wouldn't want The Masses (TM) to find the good resources, learn, and subsequently compete with people who know things already. (Hell, five days into Python and some people are already producing working Backgammon games (I think that was the post last week), and Xah Lee here is still on for loops! Woo! Go Xah!) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
