Good choice but I tried it but couldn't get on with it to be honest. That's just down to me, not the language though.

I'm not saying it's not clunky, but all in all it's fairly pragmatic. That said, I'm a big Python fan as well. Of all the dynamic languages I work/worked with, it's the one that tries hardest to be less of a footgun, and it has a strong tradition of decent documentation (hear, hear, OCaml library developers...).
