Character Sketches
Gleam
The new kid who showed up and immediately made the honor roll. Still young — hit 1.0 in 2024 — but already the number-two most admired language. No null, no exceptions, no implicit behavior. Radical simplicity as philosophy.
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.
