That he gave Javascript another chance says more about him than his dismissal of it four years ago.
However: The Python community is the frostiest on the planet.
They're complete kneebiting buttheads to the last man.
I try hard not to conflate the merits of a programming language with its "community" (although sometimes that's damned hard to do), and it's made me a happier programmer.
(That said, I don't think I'd characterize the Python community as frosty or buttheads, either today or in 2004.)
- mindaugas 18y agoactually there are two things about python, which kind of backs yegge's opinion: 1. there is "the only true way" to indent your code; 2. type ctrl-d to exit; :D
- kingkongrevenge 18y ago> I try hard not to conflate the merits of a programming language with its "community" Why? The merits of a programming language in today's world boil down to the quality and support of libraries and frameworks, which basically means "the community."
