Hmmm. I missed the Commadore 64 experience. Started with Fortran II on a dial-up to a mainframe in high school, then Digital Equipment PDP8, PDP12, PDP11 (assembly language) and then on to an Apple II (6502 assembly and Basic). The PDPs, were 4K machines like your Commadores probably were. Hard to believe, but I was doing real time recording of blood pressure, heart rate, and blood flow with those machines. Now 4 Gb is minimal. Still it would be tough to make a MH-like program on those guys of old.
Interesting review (as I'm a guy just getting my feet wet with Python as well). Do you have the book Joepal?
I mostly live in the R programming world recently, like the reviewer. MakeHuman gets direct credit for me expanding my horizons to Python. I feel like I have half-learned and forgotten a ton of languages since the late 60's. Anaconda Python is great but it does have its own learning curve. The reinforced message in the review that Python 3 is the future of Python is important for us.
