I seem to have touched a nerve there. I now program almost entirely in OCaml, which gives me the real world stuff (loads of libraries etc), performance very close to C, low memory usage, proper error checking in the compiler, terse code, rapid development, etc. etc. In other words, all the advantages of Python, plus the advantages of modern languages, without having to wait for some far-off LLVM project to make Python fast.

Rich.
