I am a forgetful guy. I really don’t remember certain things, but others I don’t forget. Once, back in the late 90s, I forgot what year it was… a college friend mentioned a language called “Python”. He said it was super practical, very good, even being a scripting language.

At the time, I was already working with Linux, and anything to help was welcome. I downloaded Python and did the traditional print the primes, using lists, of course! Then I created an application to find duplicate files on the hard drive. That was enough to free me from Perl, which until then was the best scripting thing in the world for me.
