Anecdata, but I learned Python many years ago precisely because I found the syntax was clear.

I liked the one way of doing most things philosophy, coming off working on a large C++ code base.

Being more clean than C++ doesn't prove much :)

Very true!

At the time I evaluated other languages to learn, narrowed it down to Ruby and Python, and picked Python as I felt it had a nicer syntax than Ruby. And the "one way to do things" philosophy. This was back in 2005 or so.

What other languages of that period would you say had a nicer syntax than Python?
