Because monocultures die. Because having broader diversity leads to more evolutionary leaps. Because the implementations are so fundamentally different. Because the people who ACTUALLY WROTE THE LANGUAGES wanted to explore different implementations. Because the people who ACTUALLY WROTE THE LANGUAGES wanted to explore different syntax & semantics. Because learning different approaches expands your appreciation of & informs your understanding of both. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
