Language Shootout

[Paul Winkler]

OK, I'll bite.
fibo.py is mine, ffib.py is yours.
Note that yours computes what is (according to mine and Frederik's scripts)
fibonacci of N-1 rather than fibonacci of N.

Other than that, you've kicked my butt!

Now is the time for me to strategically retreat and declare that what really
matters is readability. Who cares about speed? Not me! Never did, no sir.
