I have this comic pinned to the outside wall of my cubicle at work, where I use Python for 98% of my work.

It's funny...when I first started using Python, I hated it because it held your hand and made everything too easy.  I was a major C, C++ and Java fanatic.  Now, I LOVE Python because it holds your hand and makes everything so easy.

I still like C and C++, but have basically learned that each language has it's place.  I wouldn't try to write a AAA-quality game in Python, just like I wouldn't write something that should be a simple 50-line Python script in C++.
