Python is the future

Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, or Java.

Some of Python's notable features:

    * Uses an elegant syntax, making the programs you write easier to read.
    * Is an easy-to-use language that makes it simple to get your program working. This makes Python ideal for prototype development and other ad-hoc programming tasks, without compromising maintainability.
    * Comes with a large standard library that supports many common programming tasks such as connecting to web servers, searching text with regular expressions, reading and modifying files.
    * Python's interactive mode makes it easy to test short snippets of code. There's also a bundled development environment called IDLE.
    * Is easily extended by adding new modules implemented in a compiled language such as C or C++.
    * Can also be embedded into an application to provide a programmable interface.
    * Runs on many different computers and operating systems: Windows, MacOS, many brands of Unix, OS/2, ...
    *

      Is free software in two senses. It doesn't cost anything to download or use Python, or to include it in your application. Python can also be freely modified and re-distributed, because while the language is copyrighted it's available under an open source license.

* Function calls are extremely slow, so you have to write huge unmaintainable functions if you want performance that's not 10 times slower than slow as fuck java. This makes it completely useless for calling library functions, too.
