Pros:
	Supports broad range of programming approaches
	(OOP, functional, etc.)
	Easy to learn and read
	VERY RELIABLE IMPLEMENTATION
	VERY GOOD DOCUMENTATION
	strong math support (complex numbers, long int)
	modules are available to support most programming needs

Cons:
	unknown in commercial/corporate environment (at least my corner of USA)
	too many choices for some development areas (GUI, WEB)

Google around and you will find lots of opinions.  One writer whom I have
found to be helpful is Peter Norvig:
