Lots of neat stuff in the article and ensuing comments. There was some red herring discussion of garbage collection, but a link to a very good (PS) came out of it.

An open source observation:

Python is an open source language with a stable following.  I’m not really sure where it fits in the whole programming languages scheme (from my point of view of course), but it’s worth recording.  One thing that struck me as very odd, and yes, even remarkable was a bridge of sorts between the Java runtime and Python called Jython.  I’m stunned and impressed.  Not that I have time to learn either tools right now.  Maybe that’s just it.  I called them both tools, but I think the title “tool” is only appropriate after an individual has acquired both skill and an appreciation for context and applicability for that skill.  So, for me, neither language is a tool yet.  Forgive me, but I believe that, for me, C#, Perl, and PHP would likely be my next languages to leverage.
