Idling, Inc

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen. - Jerome K. Jerome

The right to criticize programming languages


Python's third win is simplicity. Most of the complex things about Ruby - syntactic, semantic, or whatever - are exceedingly important. Still, Python by being much simpler would be far better language for teaching peolpe to code. Sure, I know all the arguments for using Scheme or Java for it, and by legal overlook starting with C or C++ isn't in the Criminal Code yet, but if you love kids, you surely agree that Python is simply The Right First Language.
