I started with Python sometime in 1995 (my first posting to c.l.py was in January 1996, and Guido responded with a detailed followup. Thanks, Guido!)

I was with ANS at the time (the folks that ran the NSFNet network), and I spent I good chunk of 1995 working in Perl. Compared to the various things I had been working with previously, Perl was nice.

Then a colleague of mine introduced me to Python. I was a big fan of OO and Python felt so natural to work with and write. After a very short time, I hardly felt like I needed the docs. I could just guess how something would naturally work in Python and it did.

I have not been as fortunate as many here to use Python continually over the years. But, whenever I've had a say in the matter, Python has been a great and faithful tool of choice.
