Python is the future

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-19 3:57

Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, or Java.

Some of Python's notable features:

    * Uses an elegant syntax, making the programs you write easier to read.
    * Is an easy-to-use language that makes it simple to get your program working. This makes Python ideal for prototype development and other ad-hoc programming tasks, without compromising maintainability.
    * Comes with a large standard library that supports many common programming tasks such as connecting to web servers, searching text with regular expressions, reading and modifying files.
    * Python's interactive mode makes it easy to test short snippets of code. There's also a bundled development environment called IDLE.
    * Is easily extended by adding new modules implemented in a compiled language such as C or C++.
    * Can also be embedded into an application to provide a programmable interface.
    * Runs on many different computers and operating systems: Windows, MacOS, many brands of Unix, OS/2, ...
    *

      Is free software in two senses. It doesn't cost anything to download or use Python, or to include it in your application. Python can also be freely modified and re-distributed, because while the language is copyrighted it's available under an open source license.

Python is full of abstract bullshit like metaclasses and decorators, stores text as the bloated-as-fuck unicode, forces you to indent your code, tries to cram everything little thing people could need into the standard library, and the Python community is chock full of pretentious wankers that blindly follow the official coding style guide and try to make their code ``Pythonic``.
Moreover, it's developed in some sort of Nazi-fascist scheme where their ``Dictator`` takes decisions, and delegates control of releases to only his trusted subordinates. This is far inferior to the bazaar-style community efforts that have brought us e.g. Perl and Hurd.
