  • Python Success Stories

    ...global, not local, by default. Python is exactly the other way around, making programs less prone to error. Lua has no list data structure. Although its dictionaries can be used as lists, this caused unnecessary complexity in practice. Lua code is easy to follow for short scripts, but its syntax and minimal standard library makes it unmanageable for larger programs. In a very important project, the Finnish Civil Aviation Administration (FCAA) wanted to run their user interface layouts not jus...

Python is a dynamically typed language, like Smalltalk or Scheme, that rel...
