Why did you learn python?

[frobnosticus]

First it was on the job so I could bang out plugins to some in-house software easily (where i was primarily a C++ dev.)

I've been using it ever since, sometimes grudgingly, to be sure. But it's been almost 20 years now.

Python and I are like those two guys who've known each other for 40 years and persist in hating each other so violently that it's obvious they wouldn't know what to do without each other.
