Character Sketches
Lisp
The ancient architect whose blueprints everyone copies but nobody credits. Lisp invented garbage collection, conditionals, recursion, and the very concept of code-as-data in 1958, then watched sixty years of languages reinvent its ideas with different syntax.
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.
