It is hard to accept inputs from people who dont appreciate that any technical decision require understanding the tradeoffs. It is true that python is not perfect, but perfection was never a goal. Python has made some tradeoffs, just like every other technical system. Also, just like any other technical system people are working towards improving in a specific direction. They only way to change or evolve that direction is to be part of the community, understanding it, and then influencing it. Abusing the community, calling it silly is plain stupid. The author's goal is clearly not in influencing a change but self aggrandising and proving himself right.
- kazinator 10y agoInfluencing the Pythons of this world is generally a waste of time; just go use that which, today, works the way you want, or make it yourself if it doesn't exist. Anyway, are you saying that knowledgeable people who think Python is junk shouldn't say anything? Only get involved in Python development or shut up? If someone's words can save just one person from using Python, that's worthwhile.
- darkf 10y agoNah, I would love people to use Python -- just to help improve it as well (either through libraries, alternative languages or submitting changes through official channels.) Saying I am "self aggrandising" is disingenuous and misleading at best.
