I'm not sure what the takeaway is from this blog entry. Is it that Python 3 can do substrings easier than the other languages therefore we should use Python 3?

I'm not sure what the takeaway is from this blog entry. Is it that Python 3 can do substrings easier than the other languages therefore we should use Python 3? That was what I thought it was, anyway. Seems silly to pick a language based off this single, silly criteria otherwise why not JavaScript or probably other languages that can make the code even smaller? console.log(mystring.substring(0, 12)); So it just seems arbitrary and weak in my opinion.
