<pre wrap="">I'm more interested in other people's opinions than my own "looking for"s.
What <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>should<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> I be looking for (other than Python itself)? What's interesting,
widely applicable, and new(ish)?
Falcon fails my personal book-by-its-cover test. There are too many languages
to do without that test, unfortunately.

<pre wrap="">It is similar to Python, but with a quite a few nice extras and few improved things (eg. no "self", no ":", ...)
Possible negatives are:
* Requires either .NET or Mono frameworks.
* lack of 3rd party libraries ??
