What is "real world software development"? Of course it is 
exactly what I happen to do and it is done exactly the way I do 
it. Nobody uses scripting languages, nobody uses Python, all 
programming is web development, real development is done in an 
IDE, real development is done in a corporate setting as part of a 
team of at least 15 software engineers and involves automated 
testing and dependency checking and code reviews. Nobody uses 
garbage collection. Real developers don't use a compiler.

I have nothing useful to add to this discussion. It's Sunday 
morning and this lecture about how I'm not a real programmer 
annoyed me.
