Welcome.  I've found Python very enjoyable and powerful.  I
hope you find it that way as well.

If you want some basics on Python, you may want to look at

One thing about Python people is we are less (outwardly ;) smug
then your phrase seems to suggest.  Perhaps that derives from the
influence of Dutch tolerance in the early days.  In any case, you
may want to tone down your rhetoric to be less divisive, as the
sense of coolness varies too wildly to be a useful distinction.
