About Python
#9
I like Python for certain things only. It seems to have better library support for windows than other similar high level languages (Ruby), and I have used it for connecting to serial devices in Windows, and for web app development on the google app engine.

In terms of backpedaling, I think what you are referring to is the seeming lack of verbosity with error detection in Python. Since Python is an interpreted language and thus not compiled prior to execution, errors are not detected untill the program reaches a block of code with an error. Unlike a c compiler which would detect many types of errors prior to runtime.
