32.  Program mainly in C at work(embedded systems) and have been using Python
for hobby programs since I discovered it in 2000 while reading Eric Raymond's
article on hackers.

Here, in India, until last year,there were hardly any Python books in the
stores - only tons of Java and Perl books. O'Reilly has now started bringing
out Python books priced in Indian Rupees (and somewhat affordable to students).
Still they are priced 1.5 times to 2 times the average price of a Java/Perl book;
probably someone out there is scared that Python may become popular.
