Many of my #Python students obsess over their code's efficiency. But in Python, efficiency isn't the most important thing. Readability and maintainability are. You can always improve the efficiency of readable code. But you can't get back time spent maintaining unreadable code.

First, Internet Explorer had the most obvious competition: VBScript. It’s hard to overstate how popular Visual Basic was at the time, and being able to use a familiar syntax in the most popular browser was a big selling point.

Here’s a game I play: I record myself reading this aloud, then wait until tomorrow and see how close I got to MIchael Barbaro’s intonation and timing. Unrelated: I really need new hobbies. – at Manhattan, NY
