I've been programming since forever (before grade school) in lots of languages. I discovered Python when trying to contribute to Vega Strike. It was 2.3 by then, and have been loving it ever since for its conciseness and pragmatism. I've managed to sneak it into my professional coding and have been coding it professionally for more than a decade. I enjoy how easy it is to make other languages interoperate with it, and I do that all the time, and my talks show it. I love talking about python internals a lot.
