18. What is your favorite programming language?

(15 choices, Python not included)

I'm not sure why some folks have their knickers in a knot...I
took the survey and there was an "Other" box, so I just wrote in
"Python" for my favorite programming language.

I mean, Basic, Lisp, and Prolog make it in there...I use Python
for programming a heckuva lot more than I use any of the others.

19. What is your favorite scripting language?

o Python

and answered Python for this question too.

Hmmm... that matched all the .pyo and .pyc files, too. Not fair.

$ locate -r '\.py$' | wc -l
17425
$ locate -r '\.sh$' | wc -l
278
$ locate -r '\.bat$' | wc -l
49

Still a bit unbelievable, although I do have all the branches and tags
checked out of my main projects, and I tend to make lots of little .py
files so most of that 17,425 number is probably me.
