[OSDC Israel] feedbacks from the conference

[Levenglick Dov-RM07994]

I can see that my innocent joke caused turmoil where it was supposed to cause laughter. 
Let me clear things up by going on the record and saying that I, personally, without trying to influence anyone and without derogatory intent towards any of the other truly terrific, A OK, 100%, super duper other languages out there; prefer Perl.

Whatever.
My problem with this kind of "x sucks" statements is that I can't find
what the actual criticism was (thus can't learn or make any use of them).
I'd be interested to know if your conclusion is related to any Python
related talks you attended (which?).

  As far as I can tell, all the speakers whose talks I confirmed are
practical people, that think of a programming language as a tool rather
than a religion. The talks were ment to be useful to listeners, not to
"convert" them. 
  This also refers to the tutorial. It's purpose was to get the
listeners "on their feet" with Python programming in 3 hours. If you
came looking for a language debate - it was never intended. If you
attended, learned and then found out it's not what you were looking for,
then I think it was still useful to you (saved you the time you would
have to spend on learning this material yourself), and by this served
it's purpose.
