[Radiance-general] Re: python

[R Fritz]

My experiences with Python as a control language are very positive. 
There's a similar case to be made for all the "concise" interpretive 
languages: Python, Ruby, Perl, Lua, and so on, which even includes such 
tools as LISP, which is the granddaddy of them all. I like Python 
because of the computer science attitudes which underly its design: it 
is readable (at least if one grew up with a European language), 
reliable, and *small*--the manual for the basic language can be read in 
an hour, though the libraries are extensive.

Rhino 5 is planned to use the .NET implementation of Python as its 
primary scripting language, though other .NET languages will be 
available.
