I also dislike python, although it has its uses (and a wide variety of
special purpose libraries). However, in case you consider it a useful
piece of information, note that the Physics dept at Imperial College
teaches python in first year physics.


The significance of whitespace still bugs me, although I'm learning
not to grumble about it. The libraries are great, though; even the
standard library is pretty rich.
