Have you seen today's xkcd?
What the fuck was he thinking when drawing a comic like that? It is made of ONE WORD. THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE, THREAD OVER and FAIL.
It's an insult to EXPERT PROGRAMMERS everywhere. To add insult to injury, when you mouseover the image, a comment detailing ONE WORD. THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE, THREAD OVER pops up, saying ONE WORD. THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE, THREAD OVER is "wonderful". I don't know about you, /prog/, but I am NEVER reading this ``BULSHITE" again. It seems the Abelson is out not just for SICP, but for the WHOLE WORLD.

What kind of idiot actually LIKES the forced indentation of code? Enjoy your one true way, mr Fascist.
You guys are just too inexperienced to understand the joy of getting more work done because 10% of the time is not wasted by not typing superfluous characters.

ctrl-c ctrl-q in emacs will automatically insert as many parenthesis as required in order to close the current form/defun.

Well, sure. But I happen to find that Python allows me to program easier, quicker and better (simpler solutions, cleaner code - ignoring forced indention of course, less bugs) than with other mainstream languages. I'm not saying Python is better, just that it's taking me, personally, less effort to produce better results than with other languages I use. I'm willing to ignore the forced indention of code for those benefits.
I can't understand how someone like you is able to function with the forced indentation of the code.

i feel like brackets and shit create a structure to the code, it gets easier to read, that's why i can't stand python, i also can't stand people that just indent single-line if's in c, skip the brackets, i wish death upon their souls

You're a poor programmer if you can't adapt to modern best practices.

I hate having to use brackets (or reverse the order of condition and statement) in Perl for single line ifs.
I wish death upon Larry Wall every time that comes up.

Fortunately, there are better languages than Perl nowadays, so you don't have to use that shit.
Did anyone else besides us type:
Code:
>>> import antigravity
just to see what would happen?
The result was somewhat disappointing...

>>> import antigravity
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named antigravity

No. I knew that with Python's execution speed it would be faster to rewrite antigravity from scratch in Lisp than to wait for Python to do it.

I'm not a python programmer (dynamic typing just isn't for me), but your logic is just as crap as someone who says "THREE WORDS: TOO MANY PARENTHESES! Lisp/Scheme suck". (also, your definition of "ONE" appears to need updating)
I laughed. A lot.

I think it's because the import keyword expects a valid "package" name. Clearly, ``antigravity'' was just part of the joke, and not a real package name :P

Good thing you pointed that out, or we might not have gotten it. :P
