Python almost became my main language, but I moved to another language when I saw it was stuck at 2.7. Another reason was the lambda's only allowing 1 line instead of the flexible closures in so many other languages. And my expectations for future improvements were very low as the core maintainer looked quite stubborn to me.
- zmmmmm 8y agoPretty much how I ended up doing most of my coding in Groovy. I essentially wanted Python. But Python wasn't a good enough Python. (being honest, other things attracted me to Groovy as well - Java ecosystem etc, but it's interesting to me that in the larger picture, I'm sort of using Groovy as a proxy for a Python without Python's flaws).
