You don't need to know Python to know Python, it practically writes itself!

It didn't look to have much life left in it at the time (about 6 years ago) but seems to have struggled on to become an actively supported project. Quite a handy little prototyping langauge.

Anyone for D?

I stopped reading when I got this this bit:

The issue: compiler bugs, and plenty of them.

Very surreal day yesterday.

I am renting a flat, had a viewing for the third and last room.

This really nice lady was the lucky new lodger, with bad landlord problems, as he was trying to get into her bed – most literally, and snooping about her things.

She is now staying at her mum’s house until she can move to her new place.

To allow a speedy move I drove over to her mum’s place with the keys so she can get moving.

Only to be greeted by a python in the lounge.

Ta. I know the backwards sentences are endearing, but they fry my brain. Perhaps the next story could involve a shop with a magical room, a la Mr Ben. I'd like that.

As a landlord with 20+ years' experience, I can tell you that even the most normal-seeming tenants can turn out to be complete loons. Any who appear to be weird on day 1, including those who "didn't get on with their previous landlord" - AVOID!!
