Whay talking about disillutioned programmers? These are tools, not religions... I love python, and I like it more everyday. And with the advent of Pypy, its future looks brighter than ever. But I also find very interesting these new options that are coming up. Although I'm not a professional programmer (not even a serious aficionado), I love to be able to translate my python skills very easily to .NET through Boo, for example. I even find it more appealing than Ironpython, because it was created from the ground up to take advantage of the CLR. On the other hand, porting pure python to .NET is in many aspects like trying to fit a square on a circle (I don't know if this sentence makes sense in english...). Because many of the design choices taken by GvR back in the early nineties were surely conditioned by the platform he chose to write python, which is the c language. The good thing is that python is having a lot of influence in these new languages. As far as I could see, even C# 3.0 is showing up some pythonic traits. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
