Both, even functional. And a matter of "self"-confidence.

Compare the history of Java. I think the core of Python is very stable.

You refer to PPe2? Maybe we can open a fund for "spijtoptanten" ( sorry,
that's Dutch for people who

Did you give Jython a try? With Jython you can use the 'nice things of
