This showed up on the front page because it's a novelty that even people who have been using the language for over a decade would never encounter. You're taking my statement way too personally and out of context. You and everyone else can express your opinions all you want. As a topic in the list of "flaws with Python," I don't think it's a very important or insightful topic because it's not something people really run into. This just doesn't fit there. This is a novelty, pure and simple. Filed under "weird programming hacks you won't expect" This would be fine. It's like, `([]+![])[+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]][([]+{})]` in javascript. Weird, kind of interesting, but it's not really a "flaw," at least not the sense of something that will burn you unexpectedly.
