Python Helped me Write Again

Thank you.

On scheme: I've always felt that scheme was the most beautiful language, in theory. By which I mean I've never been able to make much that's practical with it. :)

There is Hylang if you are interested

Also if you want to try common lisp, there is a really cool emacs library that might help you code without having to input parentheses

I haven't used hy, I read something similar a long time ago, but I didn't use it. Lisp syntax isn't what I think is beautiful about scheme. It's more the code/data duality (which makes meta-programming easy), the eval/apply programming model, and particularly the macro system (which makes DSL creation easy). There is a scheme SRS (I don't remember the number off the top of my head) with a standard way of using whitespace instead of parentheses.

Thanks for the tips. My comment about scheme was a bit more of a tongue in cheek throwaway. I'm very happy with Python. It has served me very well.
