I know, right? We have to get this organized ... First of all, the stuff that makes Python devel fast for novice programmers also make it fast (and good) for experienced programmers ... it's clear, people didn't understand this in the beginning. They think "Python is fast for beginners", this is something good and means its EVEN FASTER for pro, people didn't understand this and was interpreting my words like "Python is for beginners", one the contrary, or rather, it's for anyone including beginners and pros LOL :) Second, what is it that makes Python good? Is it just speed of devel? And everything else but that is the one advantage that like is undisputed? That's the bottom line truth to it?
