Anyone tried Python before?

Elegance, power, simplicity.

That's what some people say about Perl.

You probably know my view by now.

I've dabbled with some Python. It uses indenting to define blocks! And if that's not bad enough in itself, if you set up your editor wrong and mix tabs and whitespace you'll be staring at the screen for hours unable to understand why it isn't doing what you've told it to do.

I don't understand the fuss, it just seems like just another script language with no real advantages (I can see there are advantages in Perl even though I hate it with a vengane). I think I'd rather use Javascript.

Python is more object oriented than Perl and thus more suitable for proper big OOP apps: probably a mid-way between Java and Perl.

And what about Eiffel?

Doesn't anyone like it?

No. Doesn't get to the point quick enough.

It's an "academic" language like Pascal and Smalltalk and Lisp.

ruby FTW

God that's a hacked up pile of crap. It's the trendy language!
