Anyone ever use it? I'm just starting to learn it, and so far, I really like it. Right now the language sort've reminds me of a more OOP Perl (which I have to admit, I love). Perl was cool because syntactically, it's similar enough to weakly-typed C where I was more-or-less comfortable writing whatever and checking the syntax and functions as I went, and it let me focus more on getting stuff done than the nitty-gritty memory and variable details (you can decide whether that's a good or bad thing).
Python's a bit different, but still seems like it could feel like home one day. There seems to be a decent amount of hype around it lately (at least in the journalism industry, if you've ever heard of Django), although I know it's not exactly a new language.
My only gripe so far is that, instead of curly brackets indicating scope, a la "myfunction() { /*stuff*/ }", it uses indenting, meaning I'd have to write that short function/if statement/loop as
def myfunction():
#stuff
#more stuff
if blah:
#more stuff
Which I guess is nice for readability, but did make me aware of my VIM settings using large tabstops instead of individual spaces (which I've now fixed). And plus, I think there's something to be said for an insane single line of code.
In any case, your guys' thoughts?
