True, and I don't think that the number of lines is going to be a good guideline. > Anecdotes aren't the answer but they can be the beginning of the > question.

If you want an anecdote: three years ago my Perl coding was different from now, and I am sure that my Python coding (when I get there), will be different compared to if I had learned the language 3 years ago. Mind, I am not saying that I am going to program Python the Perl way, just that in 3 years I have learned stuff I can use in other languages as well. -- John MexIT: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/ personal page: http://johnbokma.com/ Experienced programmer available: http://castleamber.com/ Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
