@profoundlynerdy I do like #python and I've been coding since the '70s, but…

Pro:
- easiest, cleanest language
- dynamic, nice set of data types, numeric tower, Unicode strings
- great for string processing & system scripting
- batteries included libraries
- passably easy FFI

Con:
- slow as fuck, and can't even take advantage of multi-threading
- sucks at making standalone binaries
- Tkinter is a bad, slow graphics library

So instead I do all real work in #scheme or #javascript
