[Bluej-discuss] programming as a random process

[Todd O'Bryan]

What do people think of Python as a first language? It lacks (as far  
as I know) a compiler that enforces language levels, but it allows  
you to write functions first, graduate to classes, move functions  
into classes to make methods, and avoids a lot of the syntactic cruft  
of Java.

I must say, I'm rather intrigued by the idea of playing with it.
