It's interesting that you decided to repeat this diatribe for the millionth time expecting... what effect exactly? Stroustrup licked every boot and inserted himself into every possible committee to promote his language until the network effect picked up. And later he post-rationalized about his language's popularity, attributing it to qualities the language never had. And you proceeded to conclude based on the diatribe you repeated that nobody should want good things, because everyone has to be satisfied with popular things, because you chose to eat garbage and you will be too jealous to see others getting better treats? ---- Yes. Python is garbage, and programmers should be actively discouraged from using it. Python is today in the hands of people both incapable and unwilling to improve the language in the aspects that matter, and that's why programmers need to try to defeat the network effect created by it instead of encouraging more complacency. It is pretty much in the same situation as C++, so, unintentionally, you sort of guessed the direction. Both languages started small and rode the popularity wave w/o actually filling the gaps in original design with the worthwhile contents. Kind of like a TV show that keeps capitalizing on its pilot, while not creating anymore engaging experience.
