Agreed. > There's no job Python can't handle. Ehhh... Not agreed. Not quite. Yes it's true in that Python is Turing-complete, but there are a lot of jobs that it can't handle _well_. (Unless someone's seriously considering porting the Linux kernel to Python... or writing a device driver in Python... or writing a MS Word virus in Python...) Right tool for the job! But certainly Python is excellent at many tasks, and it's easy to work with. I wholeheartedly support the sentiment behind your statement, even if I quibble slightly - your statement has accuracy, it merely wants precision :) I'll watch your vid once I'm home from work - it promises to be some pretty cool stuff!
