- orf 7y agoIt sailed when they added the for loop - everyone was happy using while loops, things worked and it was simple. Now there are TWO ways of calling a block of code repeatedly based? How confusing for new users. Python really went downhill since then.
- anon102010 7y agoI think go dropped one of these (for vs while) to keep to just one approach on loops so python providing lots of ways to do same thing is something other languages targeting entry level folks are seeking to avoid
