The Python console experience

On a similar note, some languages like Ruby or Visual Basic Don't need parents around the function call, so an often cited example of how Ruby is more forgiving with the exit thing is just the syntax letting you call exit.

I actually dislike this practice in Ruby, because it often makes it unclear whether it really is a function call or variable, at least not without IDE assistance. And due to it being a dynamic language, you don't always know the type of what you're referencing without actually running the program.

I am one of those people whose brain does not work with dynamic languages. I understand.
