You guys have it all wrong about naming and marketing.

It is Snake Language Object Oriented Programming

-- SLOOP ---

--POOLS-- if using it backward.

Worse, the book is published by Packt; so it's "Packt POOP".  :)

I disagree on the "OOAD first" opinion, though. Programming is about
exploration, and we learn more by exploring with fewer third party
constraints. Those OOAD tomes are someone else's opinion on how we should do
things, and until we have a handle on what we're actually able to do then
there's no frame of reference for the OODA to stick to.

I'm a prime example of "needs to read less and code more". Incredibly bad
habit, see a good book and buy it before really understanding the last
half-dozen or so books I already have on that topic. Well, with Python I'm
over a dozen, but other languages not so much.
