Python3 folks act so daft about his Turing-complete comments. ZS knows what Turing complete is and means. He was clearly trolling, saying in essence, "if the CPython team can't create interop between CPython2 and 3 code then they really botched the job.. Python3 bytecode is Turing incomplete. What a fail."
And then people attempt to troll him saying he doesn't know what Turing complete is. Perhaps they really don't understand what they're even responding to, that's what it appears. Or it's just a willful attack because they "like Python3". Unfortunately with Python3 this is what the Python community has been slowly devolving into, what comes off as a bunch of trolls/kids or ridiculous adults.

I'd really like to see proof that the people he was trolling actually existed, and if they did exist, a coherent explanation of why beginners to Python needed to be exposed to the arguments of said people through trolling. 2. Zed can troll people, and that's totally OK, but the "like Python 3" people can't troll him or counter-troll him, because it's turning the Python community into trollville. I'm guessing like sort of how Rails is a ghetto.

- thehardsphere 10y agoI have never asserted that Python 3 can never run Python 2. The claim is that Zed trolled some imaginary people who said this.
