Python got started in 1991 so over 20 years ago. So hardly the new kid on the block. Also, scripting languages have become one of the favoured tools of both the design-build and rapid prototyping crowd. You of all people should know that every language has it own particular strengths. Python is typically in the top 10 and even top 5 of popular active languages. I took my first programming course in 1978 so you have a few years on me but only a handful. Python is by far the most productive language I have ever done serious work in. You should play around with it for a while.

When there's a PI that makes in easy to create chapter && end notes, references lists and indexes etc, then I'll be interested in downloading it and to install its requisite interpreter - Lisp p'rhaps
