It would have been an interesting evening to have attended. I was reading a
forum recently where someone was asking about programming in Python vs.
something else. It was interesting to read some of the comments. One
comment stated the writer considered Python to be a "toy" language. Another
related to Python indicated the person thought it was just a language for
web stuff. Both comments got quite a few follow up messages.

I like the above two (particularly the Golding quote). I wasn't so
impressed by the Babbage quote.
