Character Sketches
PHP
The duct tape that holds 40% of the web together while everyone pretends it doesn't exist. PHP is the cockroach of programming: ugly, everywhere, and absolutely unkillable.
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.
