I would agree, if and only if I thought a representative sample of Python programmers would all produce something of a similar size and just as correct, but I suspect, in this case, it's the result of one especially talented person.
- nybble41 7y agoRaw talent and prior experience no doubt had something to do with it, but there's also the fact that the Python programmer was working alone and not particularly concerned about code quality or maintainability.
- mannykannot 7y agoI agree (with the caveat that, as I wrote in another comment, I think being correct is an important aspect of quality), but this observation also argues against claims that attribute the outcome to the qualities of Python.
