If people were to spend more time writing code and less time on hypothetical claptrap the amount of noise on this list would probably be reduced by 99%. Then knock out those who are interested in things like rugby, with Haskell being an England international, my beautiful eight month old great niece Ruby, and various other things, we might even spend some time actually talking about the Python programming langauge. Or have you all forgotten that that is what this list is about? Hardly surprising that the bulk of the core devs left years ago, is it? Oh, have to get in my obligatory mention of CORAL 66/250. If you lot can waffle of about languages in which I've no interest on this list, I'll once again mention my poor old darling who gets little or no TLC. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
