Of course Python is a Real Language, it exists, etc, yes. But it's not a Real Programming Language.

You see, everyone using python, ruby, perl, php, and other similar platforms - we're not programming, we're just scripting. The difference is so extreme, that, well... if you don't understand, I'm not going to bother explaining.



Sorry, Poe's law kicked-in and I mistakingly downvoted you. I'm very sorry:|


Sorry too - I should have added a sarcasm tag (or, more appropriately, a sarchasm tag).

I've been doing PHP for 16 years (among other things), and have grown tired of the "scripting vs whatever" debates/comments/remarks/jibes/etc over the years. That didn't come across enough in my original post - sorry. :/
