Python hasn't held my interest

Another thing I used to write about a fair bit was Python. Python is a great language and it's the language that I used to write Syncato. However, I never really cared all that much about the Python language itself. For example, I've never had any interest in embracing the Pythonic way of doing things and I certainly never considered myself a Python programmer. For Syncato my goal was to actually shove the programming language into the background as much as possible and focus on seeing how much could be accomplished via data transformations using XSL-T. I had to write a fair amount of Python code to bootstrap the system, but the actual applications, like this blog, are about 80% XSL-T. I guess this is a testament to Python, as it allowed me to do what I needed without getting in the way and it had the XML tools available to accomplish what I envisioned.

I still like Python, but since I can't get excited about the language itself, I guess I just lost the motivation to write about the areas of Python that I did actually use.
