I had retired from Apple in 2001 after 33 years in the business, feeling 
completely burned out. Didn't want to even look at another line of code. 
After resting and recuperating for a couple years, though, I picked up a 
book on Python (Alex Martelli's wonderful "Python in a Nutshell") and 
started tinkering with it. I was utterly amazed at how well Python's 
metaphors fit my way of thinking. It was actually fun to program again!

So now I'm back at work full-time, at a company that lets me do 95%+ of 
my work in Python, and I'm having the time of my life. My copy of the 
Martelli book is seriously dog-eared at this point; I'm glad a new 
edition is being released in a few months.

In short: Python rocks.
