Good. Let Python take over the dynamic scripting language space completely.

Who says Python programmers are all jerks?

That they're cold, humorless perfectionists who alienate new and prospective users?

That they have inferiority issues because they're not as popular as they are right?

That they occasionally lapse into self-parody?

Dude chillout I wasn't exactly serious. But I do think that Python deserves the spot as the nr 1 scripting language.

And of course competition is good.

And I don't think the community alienates new users, on the contrary I find it very helpful.
