I started with Python in 1998. I am not sure that makes me an old-timer. I'm one of those people that should have started 5 years earlier and the huge complicated project I had been working on in C++ might have succeeded.
I came to Python as a way to prototype some GUIs for a medical workstation, and learned it from example and reading the manual. By that time, it was too late and the project as a whole had pretty much failed. But boy was I blown away with the productivity and clarity of code when working in Python. I was looking to move on anyway, so I took my enthusiam for Python and co-founded Wingware (makers of a commercial Python IDE).
Best career change I ever made! :-)
