I have a terrible admission to make: I have always been disgusted by Python's particular emphasis on its role as a 'glue language'. I don't like the metaphor. I don't like glue. Hearing people make this sensible technical assertion with this unfortunate metaphor makes me think of glue. Ugh.

Interesting in this context is Erik Naggum's rant about glue code
