There's a great talk by bwk where he complains about exactly this kind of behavior...before admitting that anything useful in a language will be abused in order to do silly things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg4U4r_AgJU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg4U4r_AgJU I'll admit, I'm no fan of Python, but this has little to do with the language itself. I found Bash and Ruby first, so Python just seems like too much work to get right. Requisite xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1987/ https://xkcd.com/1987/
