The game of go, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_%28game%29, abounds in
distinctions.

Besides heavy/light, another "supreme" distinction is between thick
and thin.  Thickness is good, being thin often leads to ruin :-)

For Leo, being thick means being on a solid foundation.  Python itself
is part of Leo's thickness, but the most obvious contributor to
thickness are Leo's unit tests and other testing mechanisms such as
test scripts.

I doubt that the thick/thin distinction will be as provocative as
light/heavy, but we shall see...

Go also taught me, ironically, about another life distinction, namely
that one can only be happy if one can be happy where you are, *not*
after you have, or have not, accomplished one or more goals.  It's
*getting* to the goals that either is, or is not rewarding.

I used the word "ironically" above because I have chosen not to play
go much, if at all, precisely because playing and studying go do not
seem half as interesting, exciting and rewarding as working on Leo,
studying the vast world of computer tools, and inventing ways of
combining Leo with the outside world :-)
