However, Python has both good and bad points. The implicit typing of the variables posed suprises, when an array was of integer type when I though it would be floating-point. The interactive style of programming was nice to have when debugging. I also liked the easy was to document modules and functions in Python.

There are still a lot of things to learn. I didn't much play with processing text files, for example. And programming graphical interfaces is way too vague for me at the moment. But perhaps I'll have the time to try these things as well.
