Yeah I didn't discover python until 1999. Incidentally, that was after writing an inter-system plumbing program in sed. The guy from Andersen Consulting was so sad, because he had confidently declared that the program couldn't be written, period, let alone in one day. Then he was happier, because he realized that he would make tens of thousands of dollars rewriting it in C++. One of the managers at the poor abused client just asked, "why didn't you write it in awk?" Sorry dude, I never used awk at university... Actually we were all wrong, because I should have used sh.
