Character Sketches
C++
The gothic cathedral — ornate, imposing, awe-inspiring, occasionally terrifying. Fifty years of features layered onto a C foundation. Template metaprogramming is many things, but visually clean isn't one of them.
Python
Everyone's first love and nobody's last. Python's beauty is the beauty of clarity, indentation is structure, the most readable way is the correct way, and a newcomer can read someone else's code without a tutorial.
