A few years ago (at least 5 I believe) I remember reading an account from
two students who had to do a term project in their final CS year. They
decided to do it in Python (which they had learned on their own) whereas
everyone else was using something like C++ or Java which was taught in
their department. From what I remember, they completed the required work
in something like 4 weeks whereas no other student team managed to do it
while working for the entire term.
Does anyone remember this and, more crucially, would have a link to the
original story?
Andr?
