I would argue that syntax should not dictate how code is formatted. After using python for many years, you realize the concept isn't quite as ideal as it might appear when looking at examples of how nice and clean it is.

I've always said Facebook wants to be the "chrome" around your Internet. They don't want you to leave their domain, your email, news, talks with friends, music, everything will occur on Facebook.com. You'll have very little reason to leave to another site.

Troubling? No, not really. This was supposed to be an internal rant.

Python is certainly learning from Perl and also has things Perl lacks (a true object oriented system, perl6 will have this but it isn't ready yet). So for someone like you that is fairly new, I wouldn't encourage you to use perl over python. The key difference I do tend to see is most of the "script kids" and douche-b...

VB6? Yes, seriously. VB.Net does not share enough in common with its ancestor for me to consider it Visual Basic proper. It shares a similar syntax, but that's all. That said, if I were going to subject myself to msft tools again, I still wouldn't choose VB.Net over C#.

To truly understand why people use facebook you need to be a coked up 20 year old sorority chick, not a UX design guy. Mark Zuckerberg knows this, and this is why Facebook has done well. Google does not think in this fashion, and this is why it will fail.

Types being optional are going to significantly mitigate these benefits. As soon as you need polymorphic inline caches at all you've decided you're never going to compete with today's compiled languages. If you're just going for faster than javascript, well, OK, but that's a low standard :P
