I just discovered another reason to prefer Python over Perl -- Python has
a real GC available, a cycle detecting reference counter as well as a
generational GC with 3 generations. The GC can also be controlled by
the user and used as a leak detector.
So now you have another reason to use Python for your simple scripting
needs -- at least if you can't use Lisp.
The only thing I'm waiting for is a Metaobject Protocol... :)
