I predict this will become a reference link for pro-Python arguments in the same way that insufferable 'fractal' article has become a boondoggle whenever PHP is mentioned.


Eh. As a Python fanboy, a lot of his points are pretty weak. His examples of Python being fast includes libraries which call into non-Python code and a non-standard implementation.

Besides, there are way better links for pro-Python arguments. I would point to Norvig's spell-checker in 21 lines of Python for example (http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html).


Not sure about trying to predict the future, but it sure reads the same way.
