Python is a great programming language that is optimized for programmer productivity; it’s amazing sometimes how quickly you can go from idea to minimally working solution. It achieves this unbeatably low “time-to-code” via its very dynamic nature and easy to write (and read) syntax. Before learning Python many years ago, I used Perl, but quickly found that I was much more productive with Python than Perl; it just seemed to fit my brain better.
