"On iteration": Why people leave Python

As additional anecdotal evidence, this is true for me, though I'm still using Python for my next project simply because it's a proven language with proven libraries.

But I'm certainly ready and interested in moving toward a more functional language -- I've always been interested in the Lisps, and have always tended to write code in the functional style, where possible (even though my first language was Java...)

No, he said he's using python, so it's False

it's taken me a day to "get" that - i'd been thinking it was a confused comment rather than a (questionable quality!) joke... have a vote back to 1 since i suspect you've been downvoted by others as confused as me.

I think the point is anecdotal is not evidence and blog posts are all too often lacking in anything but.

Then again he's programming in a hot bed of programmers in that well known programming mecca of Hamilton, New Zealand. Oh, wait...
