And that's what any concious humain will do in such situation. What I
ment is that, sometimes, you have to work in real time and have no time
to code->test->debug->... cycle. For example when monitoring or forging
some IP packets (you can fake a "fantom" Sun workstation in your home
network like that ;) and need a realtime custom check function or when
you're using your computer as a "desk scientific calculator" you'd like
to have a flexible, powerfull and light-weight-syntax interpretted
programming language.

That language would be with no doubt Python! But, why not, with lighter
syntax.

Adiaux!
