via Prescod.net: An interesting excerpt from Paul's article: "When I made the first statement I was in a 1990s thought pattern. In the 1990s it was common to think that an operating system could be easy to use OR sophisticated but not both. But at the end of the century this dichotomy became less and less meaningful. Linux grew shiny buttons. Windows got ports of Perl, GCC, bash and the other Unix tools. And then Macintosh OSX came out and did the most impressive job of being both a family sedan and a race car at the same time. Python is the Mac OSX of programming languages. It is designed to be used and loved by new programmers, "average" programmers and language geeks all at the same time." 9:19:42 AM    The Soapbox
