[ILUG] introduction to programming

[John Moylan]

>> Python is a good language to learn if you want to learn Python;
>> it's a crazy language to learn for any other purpose.

Can the author of the Python flame-bait quantify his statement.


Personally, I have found learning python improved my other language =

coding skills, especially my OO Java stuff. Python is also an excellent =

language for writing large systems, it is clear and also very powerful. =

I know for example that Google, Redhat, Real, RTE ;) code allot of their =

  systems management software in Python because of it's flexibility and =

because it is easy to write good, clean, maintainable code.
