Python Productivity over C++

[Roy Katz]

Oh of course, agreed!

My point is that I find Python easier use for roughing out a
quick sketch--like how charcoal is to art. program. I'm hooked on it
as a general-purpose language, please understand; however, now 
I have an (working) example for my friends (whom I'm trying to persuade 
to pick up Python). 

The punchline: coding took two hours in Python and two days in C.
