Living in Rhythm with Python So I've started working with Python seriously again. I'm calling it an extension of my studies in computational linguistics, since that requires some programming effort, and I need to keep my skills up.

The best thing so far is that Python seems to take far fewer mental resources than C. I'm not totally sure why, but the object model and simplified syntax probably have something to do with it.

I'm thinking of writing a text adventure engine, to pursue one of my story ideas. The code practically writes itself - Python is set up for text processing. Basically, I'd be setting up a few objects and then just writing up the rooms and items.

I have to wonder what the market is like for text adventures, though.  ¶ 1:32 PM
