Actually, I'm a bit of a polyglot myself (mostly Perl and Java for
work, still dabbling at Python, bought Dave & Andy's Ruby book but
haven't had time to invest in serious reading/playing.) I get very
interested in seeing how mental models of various languages shape
(or at least influence) one's design and coding, and would likely
have spent more time on Python had it been around when I decided to
learn Perl.

Happy holidays (and I'll try to point a cold fire-hose at some of
the flamers! ;-)
