I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I'm leaving you.

[A Cueball-like friend is talking to Cueball, who is floating in the sky.]
Friend: You're flying! How?
Cueball: Python!
Cueball: I learned it last night! Everything is so simple!
Cueball: Hello world is just print "Hello, World!"
Friend: I dunno... Dynamic typing? Whitespace?
Cueball: Come join us! Programming is fun again! It's a whole new world up here!
Friend: But how are you flying?
Cueball: I just typed 'import antigravity'
Friend: That's it?
Cueball: ...I also sampled everything in the medicine cabinet for comparison.
Cueball: But I think this is the python.
Just wait until you accidently have something unindented that wasn't supposed to be. Those are fun bugs to troubleshoot
If you try out the import antigravity in this comic, you'll be linked back to the comic. XKCD is built into the language itself.
Open a Python REPL and type:
import antigravity;)
Fun fact: if you actually call
import antigravityin a Python script, it will open up this comic in your browser.
