The Year of Python

Troutgirl:

From the IM logs:

Joyce: Boy, this is definitely the Year of Python

Joyce: Last year, people said "Python might be OK for prototyping Java"

Joyce: This year, it's more like "Java is the new COBOL"

Murph: python has been, if you'll excuse the pun, creeping up on us for a while.

Murph: it's funny, because python has had some killer apps for a while, but they've been pretty invisible

Joyce: Like what?

Murph: things like Mailman

Joyce: Oh, that's Python?

Murph: see?
