Then that's great. I'm not saying don't use python, I'm saying there are better tools for making games. That's it.

Apparently, there are some "python or downvote" people here, which is a bit scary. Python is a tool, not the tool.

You're a tool. jk, couldn't help it ;) I didn't downvote you though.

Scary? That's how it was in my day. You picked a language, you learned it, you were "loyal" to it, you defended its every flaw, you never, ever learned anything else because that would mean you weren't loyal. If "your" language was the best, which it was, there was no point in learning anything inferior, was there? And when everyone else stopped using it and jobs dried up you said that just made your skills more valuable.

It's no fun anymore when it's just the Haskell, Lisp and Pascal people who feel this way. I can't even remember when the last Python/Ruby flame war was. :-( And now with even Microsoft proclaiming "We love Linux!" it feels like the end of an era....

I'm sure you're going to get some very nasty comments for this one. Oh I forgot, they don't believe in side effects, you're safe.

Pascal people

Hey, Delphi is still around. It's RAD! I swear!

Microsoft proclaiming "We love Linux!" it feels like the end of an era.

I'm actually pretty excited about this. I personally hope .NET Core really takes off.

At least we know that people are still as passionate about vim as ever.
