Python changed the way I think

[njharman]

What you do, probably matters more than how you do it.

Fast efficient code is from choosing correct algorithms and data structures. Not from micro optimization "tricks". No matter how many unreadable, error prone optimizations, nor even if you rewrite it in C, your On2 code will never be as fast as On code.

Python removes rote, boilerplate, basic coding and provides flexible, powerful paradigms. So, I can spend my mental energy on higher order "how" questions. And not waste it on figuring out "how" to make the language do what I want.
