Bill points out the inevitability of the Pythonification of the world. I couldn’t agree more; if you listen to the whispers in the halls, all of the old objections are falling away, and people are taking a serious look at dynamically typed languages.
Here’s a little tip; rather than gnashing your teeth holding onto the remnants of big, old statically-typed, clumsily compiled languages, instead of flirting with halfway measures and Johnny-come-lately languages, stick with the real thing.
Most of the really talented people I know say “oh, yeah, I’ve been meaning to get into Python, I just haven’t had any time.” Boys and girls, the train is leaving the station…
