Fair enough, I've been playing with D a lot lately, which is basically "what if python was a C dialect instead". It's an incredibly simple language to learn but it's no less easy to write in than python. For most things I still reach for python though, probably because I've grown comfortable with duck typing.

side-note when starting with D: make sure to install dub. it's the package manager and basically eliminates makefiles from the compilation process. Just "dub init" and "dub run" and you're off to the races.
