Well, I did say "Often". Before now I've struggled for ages to write a
Python program to do a job, then when I've tried C# all the problems
have fallen away and the job was done in an hour or so. But other
times it has been the other way around; I've done stuff in Python that
I wouldn't know where to begin with in other languages. One of my
constant refrains is that *no* tool is ideal for *all* jobs!
