Well, it is closer to psuedo-code than C++ is. That's good enough for me. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-August/357319.html is a good example of how baffling C++'s STL looks compared to the rough equivalent in Python. (I'm ignoring the speed comparison.) > btw, have you seen IronPython? I've played with IronPython but haven't found a use for it yet. I thought it was interesting that Microsoft put their name to it.
