Laziness is maybe not a reason to not use Python. I choose
python because I am lazy: the absence of useless braquets is the best 
gift python gived to me. As a C programmer, I am dreaming of a tool
that allow me to use the indentation syntax to write C programms.
I would feel my self so much efficient.
