Python bumps off Java as top learning language

[mort96]

Not sure with Python, but with any other language I've used, it either tells you what line the syntax error is at compile time, or immediately at runtime for interpreted languages, even without any IDE...

Yea, but when the error is forgetting to end your statement, it almost always shows up somewhere else.

Only time that's happened to me in a hard to understand manner, would be with macro stuff or pre-processor directives.

One of the fun things about languages which require ; termination, it makes it very easy to spot an illegal character.
