I believe people who use Python as a first language (like me) disagree in
that. I dislike all those {'s en }'s in c, and I rather read postscript
than P**l.

As i said: people who start with Python as a first language like it.

For me, it's the largest reason to use Python over P**l.

I don't know how it is on other languages, but the mistake I make most is:
class A:
    def __init__():
        ...

no self... Why do I have to type it, if it's not possible to not type it?

Gerrit.
