Thanks. You have made my day.

I may rise the average pay of a Python programmer in Portugal. I have asked
for a raise back in December, and was told that it wouldn't happen before
this year. I have done well. I think I deserve better pay than a
supermarket employee now. I am sure that my efforts were appreciated and I
will be rewarded. I am being sarcastic.

The above paragraph wouldn't be true if I programmed in perl, c++ or lisp.
