Our age difference explains a lot of your recalcitrance towards new (to you) things.

  It amazes me that you dismiss someone with 20 years more experience than you as somehow knowing less. Python isn't new to me: it's old, and it's crap, and its "evolution" is towards a dead end. Stuff like nodejs will eventually supplant it if it hasn't already, and with good reason (not that I am a huge fan). Python was a novel design and a great choice ... back in the 90s. I mean, use it if you like it; use Forth or Lua or whatever you like. I think it's terrible and should be abandoned wherever possible.

    You didn't die. Congrats, but that doesn't give you knowledge I don't have. Python should be new to you, or at least newer than when you first encountered it. The fact that it's not means you have no clue what changed, so you have no clue if it's any better. The only thing that needs to be abandoned is this fake idea that older people carry knowledge that can't be expressed except in the form of trust. If you've got reasons, let's hear 'em, but "I'm old" isn't a reason to do anything.

      I already gave you reasons; the fact that you can't understand them because you're a language zealot isn't my fault. Mind boggling really.

        "Because it's garbage" isn't a reason.
