For the record, I have closed the feedback poll. Thank you, around 60 people alltogether, for taking the time to submit it. I will begin to summarize and graph the results.

For the record, I have nothing against Ruby or Perl, but I have no special desire to use them either. Both of them basically fill the same niche as Python; Ruby even more so.

For the record, "the CURRENT python" that first supported string methods referred to in Ed's update to the entry I briefly wrote about yesterday was Python 2.0, which was released in 2000.

For the record, I am quite sure that if you critisize Python, "they" don't say "But Guido just fixed that in the latest release! Get with the program!", whoever "they" might actually be. But you have to be precise; like this, for example: "Why must I say in Python 1.5.2 ...". While there are still a lot of programs running on Python 1.5.2, I would consider it rather strange to start programming in Python with that version.

For the record, I am not being cranky nor angry here. I am just stating some facts, for a change, for the record. ;-)
