As my friends will attest, I really enjoy programming languages. I’m one of those language fetishists that talk about “expressiveness” and “concision”, and yes, I’m one of those very strange fellows who blurt out bad Lisp jokes while getting odd looks from innocent bystanders. And while my bread and butter is built in Java, I often find myself yearning for a more expressive language while deploying, customizing, or integrating PDFTextStream (there I go again with the “expressiveness” bit). That yearning can reach almost pathological extremes at times, prompting me to go so far as to sponsor projects that make it possible to use Java libraries (including PDFTextStream) from within Python.
