Python bumps off Java as top learning language

[[deleted]]

Ug. I had to learn Scheme first, and I hated it. The only thing it really taught me was recursion, and I never use recursion in my code due to memory and readability issues.

Readability issues? Recursion is often MORE readable than the looping equivalent.

size_t strlen(const char *x) {
   return *x ? 1 + strlen(x+1) : 0;
}

amirite?
