This is an interesting argument that Python can be both flexible and strict. I think the author made a good argument here that this is more of a benefit to the language than a risk. The problem I have currently with Python is that all these options are increasing the number of "pythonic" ways to do something, and making the language more complicated. Python was exciting because it was quick to write, and elegantly simple. It didn't make exciting and risky choices on syntactic sugar -- it took a moderate approach. But I get the impression that Python is trying to evolve into more and more use cases that it isn't well suited for. I think this runs the real risk of becoming too generalized -- doing many things, but not doing them well.
