...and now for something completely off-topic...
The following is an interesting comparison of Python, Perl and Tcl:
Tcl -- It is short (only three letters) and does a suprising amount
given that it doesn't have a vowel. It can be pronounced
"Tickle", which is a command.
Perl -- Bigger and has a vowel. However you'll note that it isn't
a common english word; you'll have to know what you're doing to
use it, especially with spell-checkers which otherwise complain
that it looks like noise.
Python -- This is a Real English Word (honest, look it up!) that
happens to refer to a type of snake, which you'll notice is an
object. With the two vowels, python is quite readable.
