Actually, how to reverse a string in Python is just "s[::-1]" -- you omitted the printing from the C++ version. In terms of readability, they both beg the question - is the reversed string ever actually held in memory at some point or can it occur lazily via latent reverse iteration? I mean is the alleged readability of either language really answering any important questions?
