Python makes simple things hard. It also makes some slightly complicated things really easy, mostly by way of an incredibly extensive standard library. One line for a static webserver (python -m SimpleHTTPServer). Not that much more to extend it. On a side note I greatly prefer go's approach to white space. It's not significant but there is a piece of software that rewrites code to the "standard". Go's bracing, though... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1912986 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1912986 . Talk about not making wrong code look wrong.
