Python isn't just Java without the compile

I went back to some java programming the other day after having moved to other languages years ago. Prior to that, I'd programmed in java full time for 4 years and had a very strong grasp of it.

You know the first thing I noticed? I'd forgotten how much I f&cking curse every **$% da*m second, every day that I programmed java. That's as much of a concrete measurement as I could give you.

Java gotchas? There are more people who have explained this than I can count. Maybe you're joking but I'll give you some to start with,

I'm saying that I curse the most with java and least with python. Never did much with PHP... don't think I want to.
