I am a hobbyist programmer started with pascal and then perl. Loved perl, but once I had to hire a programmer to do some enhancements that I did not have time for - he did a good job, but after he left I found I could not understand a word of what he had done. Then someone introduced me to python and I never looked back. Spent some time wandering in the zope world and then in 2005 I stumbled onto Django - end of wandering, beginning of being real productive.
