python vs c#

[Matt Gerrans]

I skimmed a little part of this thread earlier and now it is all gone from 
my news reader (thankfully!), so forgive me if this comment was already made 
by someone else:

The idea that Python and C# are mutually exclusive is inane.

In fact, the idea that Python and Ruby, or Perl or any other language are 
mutually exclusive is inane.    The more tools you have at your disposal, 
the better off you are.

I've been developing in extensively C# for about a year and a half  now and 
started using Python about twice as long ago or so.    I still use Python 
extensively and find that it complements my work in other languages, 
including C#.    I find that it is often useful to imagine how I would 
approach a problem in Python, before implementing it in C#, for example. 
I find it easier to "think in Python" and find that it helps me create 
better solutions in C, C++, C#, and Java.

All these language x vs. language y arguments are silly.    I'm more 
interested in using Python *with* other languages.
