If you love Python, this post is not for you. If you hate Python, this post is not for you. If you were thinking about trying Python, or you’ve tried it and you’re just not sure, read on.
Here’s my favorite entries in the world of Why Python is Great:
- Quotes about Python
- Why Python?
- Why I Promote Python
- Can Your Programming Language Do This? (More of a dig on Java, and doesn’t even mention Python, but a very entertaining read.)
If you want to do web-based stuff, then try TurboGears. Seriously, try it. You’ll thank me.
Now, if you’re really looking to spend some time thinking about languages, the following discussion is very interesting if a bit esoteric and paints Python in a more nuanced light:
Enthusiasts of other languages could put together similar lists for their own languages. So if you don’t like Python for whatever reason, but you’ve always wondered about Ruby or Scheme, go seek out more information. The most important thing is that we as programmers continually seek to expand our language horizons. But whatever you do, please, I’m begging you, don’t use Perl.
