There are a lot of statements of intent and goals: Python is intended to be flexible, easy to learn, easily extensible, simple, etc. It seems to me that someone somewhere has to have studied whether these are actually ''accomplished''. Have there been any studies on (say) students learning Python, on whether it is actually easier to learn? It's nice to talk about design goals, but they're ''all over'' this article.

Some statements are made which sound like Python advocacy, and which are sourced to documents at <ttcode>python.org</ttcode>. Example:

:Python requires less boilerplate than traditional statically-typed structured languages such as C or Pascal, and has a smaller number of syntactic exceptions and special cases than either of these.
