#2And one of the best features of Python: The community
The Python community allied with the good programming habits (aka PEP 8) really does the difference.

#3I love Python, but it's a rubbish article I regret to have upvoted.
> Python is robust
This paragraph does not feature a word about robustness. There are mentions of speed and scalability and some sort of benchmark showing a case where Python is faster than Ruby or PHP. Conclusion: "It's also very fast".
The rest is less terrible but does not mention any of Python's shortcomings.

#4Please don't use the TIOBE index as a measure of language popularity. It's trash.
[Disclaimer: I love Python and if anything, it's more popular than TIOBE indicates. This comment expresses an opinion about TIOBE, not Python]

I LOVE PEP8. There it is I said it. I love that I can look at Python code I wrote eight years ago and it looks like I wrote it yesterday (apart from the fact I've got better and working with python).
Even better I can look at someone else's code and if they've bothered to follow PEP 8 I am straight in, understanding the code and not their formatting. It removed a cognitive load that in C++ just kills me.
It's bloody great.

#8It would be strange if this guy had anything negative to say about Python since "Should you need assistance with your Python project, we'll be happy to help through a variety of professional services."
