...and I'm loving it.

Sooo much more elegant than Perl...and so much less going back to the 
manual to lookup the syntax of simple data structures and operations...

REPL is so useful

and you guys rock too

cheers

Good to hear you're enjoying it. Out of curiosity, what were you using Perl
for?

I am a programmer by education but have not programmed in years. Sometimes I need to get
my point across to people in my team that something can be done. The fact that I could prototype
in Perl (now Python) certainly makes it harder for others to argue that this or that cannot be done
in (java/PHP) or that it would take a disproportionate amount of time to carry out...

Thanks

Hooray!

I'm glad you have had good responses and help here.

If you feel motivated, please spread the love and write an article
somewhere (your weblog?) outside this community, praising what you've
found good about the language and its community.
