LOL so clever! So edgy! Do you love lisp, perchance?

  no, i don't. But i tend to prefer idiomatic code where I don't have to scan the entire statement to figure out what the condition is (comprehensions). I.e. the code follows my thought process and doesn't impose extra mental load just to parse it. Also significant whitespace (some of it, only that at the beginning on some, unless the previous line ends with \ and not in the middle of a statement.) The syntax itself precludes having lambdas that are actually useful (more than one expression). Syntax is arbitrary. some things read better postfix, and some prefix. For the creator, otherwise it's completely arbitrary. It's a very badly designed language

      nah, i use python quite often at work. Doesn't change the fact that i enjoyed every other language I tried better. python is okayish for a short single file script. It tends to quickly become horrible for anything bigger.

          the community and can't take any criticism too, as you have so clearly demonstrated, so the language will never get better. stuff will just keep being bolted on. More syntax baby! remind me again how to interpolate a string....
