I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I'm leaving you.

Transcript

[A Cueball-like friend is talking to Cueball, who is floating in the sky.]
Friend: You're flying! How?
Cueball: Python!
Cueball: I learned it last night! Everything is so simple!
Cueball: Hello world is just print "Hello, World!"
Friend: I dunno... Dynamic typing? Whitespace?
Cueball: Come join us! Programming is fun again! It's a whole new world up here!
Friend: But how are you flying?
Cueball: I just typed 'import antigravity'
Friend: That's it?
Cueball: ...I also sampled everything in the medicine cabinet for comparison.
Cueball: But I think this is the python.

Well, which of these lines causes a compilation error?

String foo = "Nothing";
foo += "to see";
foo += "here";

SpoilerThe last one. It's not a semicolon but a Greek question mark...
