Yup, someone else posted that link too. It looks like an interesting language, sort of hybrid of imperative of functional programming. I imagine, if I were an iOS developer, I would cheer too!

I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.
I changed my car horn to the sound of gun shots. People move out of the way much faster now.
You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by her hands. If they are holding a gun, she's probably angry.
Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.
I don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" get's thrown around in the courtroom.
I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the jim this morning.
Paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers - if you find one, what's your plan?
A gun is kind of like a parachute; if you need one and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

The reason they started putting warning labels on everything is that the stupid people that lived hired lawyers.
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

May we take bets how often you can sound the horn in the precence of cops until you catch a bullet?
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

A friend of mine has started his journey to become a programmer. His class is learning Python, and I mus wonder, Why Python?
I want him to have a look at C-like languages in-stead, (for when he's finished with his current course), but he is adamant that his teacher must be correct in saying that Python is what the programmers need today, to be hireable. I am a big fan of C# and PHP, and I see little in Python that makes them comparable, (granted I haven't used much time with Python), But I can't see it even begin to compete with the big ones, (The C-like languages). But am I wrong?
The real question is really: are there really any big differences between the top 15 or 20 most popular programming languages?

Python is really well structured, especially for a beginner. It's forgiving, multi platform and pretty powerful. I know of a major bank that uses python to do their risk analytics, after doing rather a lot of technology performance comparisons.
PHP is a godawful mess, and C# is tightly platform specific.
It's a really nice language. Sure, people whine about the whitespace/tab thing. But once you get over it (it takes about 2 hours), it yields a much cleaner block of code.
Frankly I'd be using it now if my code base wasn't already in perl.
I'd say give it a shot. It'll almost certainly surprise you.

yeah I'm not sure I'd trust mono in a production environment.

Honestly Mono is probably better tested and more reliable than Microsoft's implementation.

I read a comment from someone who works at a company that has C# running on Mono that runs on Fortune 500 comapny servers without issue.
