I always ignored Python, i hated Google and other for using it on servers, i hated the idea of some BASIC lookalike hijacking education, i hated the pythonistas and their ilk.
I hated FIOC and all the Guido-mandated non-sense.
Then in single instant it hit me. I'll will be be as productive as this: http://www.codexon.com/posts/host-your-own-email-easy-disposable-addresses

You can use LISP macros to create a DSL which will allow you to express your desire to host a catch-all mail server most concisely. Python will never let you do that.
Also, "peak productivity" such as this is overrated. What matters is the beaty of your code and your long-term satisfaction. Actually, for writing crappy throwaway 20-line scripts Perl is even better than Python, but why would you want to participate in these special olympics, when there is a whole world of complex, elegant, beatiful programs waiting for you to give them reality with your spells?
>>3 because there are little things like bills and cars and apartments to be paid for. oh yeah and food too. while no one will pay you to write your precious beautiful toy language code, there are coding jobs out there for python devs
also IHBT

you're pathetic.
you will get paid 100 * more maintaining old COBOL apps than you will programming with your shitty baby language.
python is only used by idiots who can't program in anything else
>>7
doh ho ho.
how many uni kids do you know that can program in lisp but nothing else?
now how many do you know who know python and nothing else?
you have been intellectually check mated, fool

I know three people who only know Scheme, and none who only know Python. You're out of touch with tertiary education.

My satori moments were getting an epiphany on how to use the different monads, how to combine them using transformers and actually having a design requirement for my very own monad.

lol macros. So you can write pages of code and cover them up with macros to make it look like only a few lines of 'beautiful' code.

Less can also mean ``minus; without''. >>21-kun obviously meant ``Without faggot quotes, please''. His real mistake was calling them ``faggot quotes'', instead of ``proper quotes''.

That's not a mistake. ` has no use in English except as a letter accent. That means that it is not a valid quote character. I don't give a shit that K&R published a book with them, they are EXPERT NON-QUOTES.
>>26 ` strictly has no use in any language, but it exists in ASCII, so clearly its purpose was to act as a quote.
If you were older than 19, you'd realise the reason people use it is because traditional pretty X fonts display it as ‘ (while displaying ' as ’), and LATEX.
>>33
` stricly has the meaning that when one uses it, one is covertly making the statement``I am ghey, plz buttfuck me ASAP lol''.

Unfortunately for you, there are very little jobs for Python. Perl on the other hand, there are huge amounts of jobs for Perl programmers.

Sir, you have stolen my ASCII and turned into an abomination, this was only supposed to be for Perl.

This post both saddens and angers me.
It saddens me because this man doesn't realise his ignorance.
It angers me because I have to work with people like him.
