Let's see. Note that some of these may have been added to Python 2 over time - I haven't used 2.x in a while.

• The print("foo") syntax has gotten rather ingrained with me - although I wonder why the same treatment wasn't done to exceptions and assertions at the same time.
• There are a number of things in the Python 3 standard library that are wonderful.
• Integer division acting sane by default.
• No getting bitten by accidentally-octal constants.
• Knowing that you can use set literals, etc, etc, without worrying about backwards compatibility.

That's more than enough!

Simple. Anonymous. Secure. Pick one.

I wish you the best of luck disproving that!

What sort of bot? Elaborate, please!

Popover on trying to read, closed the tab and stopped reading.

Please please please do not do that. I use an RSS feed reader, and grab feeds of blogs that have content I like. It's simple, it's unobtrusive, and quite frankly content like this is something that I would read and enjoy.

But popovers kill it for me. Please reconsider that. You've lost (or rather, not gained), at least one user.

For quick stuff, and for things I do on my own, I prefer Python. Python 3 over Python 2, although I really really really dislike the unicode "handling" in Python 3.

I like C# as well, although the whole "tied to the Microsoft ecosystem" thing is frustrating. Supposedly that is changing, but we'll see...

I end up using Java the most, ugh. It is verbose, and slow, and has more than a few rough spots / frustrations (for instance: type erasure + generics. And the lack of operator overloading. And the lack of automatic getters and setters. And so on.)

I enjoy stack-based languages far too much.
