Mainly bcoz of my background in Java and .Net. I tot python is just a little script language that will go away. I am totally WRONG. I spent a week exploring app engine and python and realise it (python) can do everything that I wanted to do. And the more I deal with it, the more I like the language structure. And I do feel more efficient using it. Imagine a world where our organizations enterprise application sit on the clouds. This will save a lot of datacenter $$. Of course the other side is whether we will be totally locked in to a specific cloud. but whatever the case, I urge developers to take a closer look at python.

Rather than rushing to grok Python though, I'm going to still focus on Ruby with Rails, Merb...plus items like Rubinius, metaprogramming, distributed Ruby, etc etc... there are a lot of exciting things going on there too, personally want to focus on that rather than switching gears into Python this year. I dig Python, but for a dynamically typed language, I'm enjoying digging deep into Ruby. funny stuff. …have to confess i’m one of the Rubyists that pinged you on email… that made me laugh even harder (sorry man!)

It's the API lockin and the horrible license agreement that make this a really bad idea for... just about anyone. Who cares what the language is?

"your desire to play with the new toy is greater than your religion" gave me a chuckle. :) As much as I would like to see ruby support come quickly (slight bias, it’s my main language), the fact that it’s coming in python first gives me a good excuse to try it out a little bit more, especially with I/O coming up.

I haven't done anything substantial in Python, but at least it's dynamic. I’m pretty much in the “anything but Java” camp (although Groovy looks cool).
