Best first programming language

[Jerry Davis]

BTW, can someone tell me why this happens?

$ perl -e 'print "hello world\n"'
hello world

$ python -c 'print "hello world"'
hello world

notice that I DID NOT have to put the \n at then end of the python print
statement? is it something to do with the -c (i.e. smart enough to know it is a
cmd line script, and automatically puts a \n at the end?) or something?

notice what happens when you leave the \n off of the perl script, and add a \n
to the python script.

just curious.
