I actually have to agree. I started out my programming experience with C# -> PowerPC (strangely) -> C++ -> touched upon PHP -> Java -> Python -> Objective-C. Out of all of these languages, Python was by far the easiest and most flexible language to learn.

I've never done any sort of web development at all (no HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.), but I set up a local Django server to do stuff with, and I absolutely love it. I learned Pyton for web development, but I can really see it coming a part of my future projects.
