The Python Paradox, by Paul Graham

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-read dept.

GnuVince writes "Paul Graham has posted a new article to his website that he called "The Python Paradox" which refines the statements he made in "Great Hackers" about Python programmers being better hackers than Java programmers. He basically says that since Python is not the kind of language that lands you a job like Java, those who learn it seek more than simply financial benefits, they seek better tools. Very interesting read."

    Naiive logic; you're forgetting the fact that financial incentive is one of the strongest motivators.
