  This really goes to the heart of the problem with modern Python. It's lost the simplicity of the language which was the whole point of it in the first place. OO and functional paradigms were bolted on to varying degrees of success, but an outsider can no longer look at average Python code and understand it at a glance.

    List comprehensions were added to Python in version 2.0, which was released 21 years ago. That was about six years after Python 1.0 was released. Are you seriously pining for the simplicity of Python 1.x? (Most of the "outsiders" you're talking about were in elementary school at the time, I don't think they were reading a lot of Python!)
