Python is better than Perl6

Python is better than Perl Six! Read this delightful article from a PROFESSIONAL GOOGLE SOFTWARE ENGINEER.

Even Ruby is better than Python.
Even Tcl is better than Python.
Even JAVA is better than Python.

Where are my operators?
Why do I have to indent my code?
How can I write unreadable quines with all that indentation?
Where are my macros? Lisp macros? Perl 6 macros?
What? Just one-line-lambdas? In Perl 6 I can pass them like blocks!

|There's one way to do things. Code becomes a lot cleaner when |there is one obvious way to do things. In Perl there are many |ways to do things... having some ability to be creative is nice; |have too much is stifling. Imagine being at a doughnut shop with |10,000 choices. It's confusing. Now go to a doughnut shop that |specializes in chocolate cream filled. Sure, they have others in |case you really want a cruller, but you know that the obvious |choice (their speciality) is the way to go.

Why are Perl6 fans so obsessed with ``operators''?  Even novice Haskellers (or anyone who knows basic math even an centimeter beyond arithmetic) know that an operator is nothing more than a relation with some additional rules regarding absolute precedence, and that's it.

Hmm, it seems that Perl6 allows users to define their own operators, much like Haskell.  Finally, a good idea being implemented.  Too bad the rest of Perl6 sucks glowing goat's balls and Larry is a mental hospital bishop.

Yeah, too bad this poor trolling attempt you can't back up.

Perl 6 has macros, you can fix the ``rest of Perl 6'' by defining more operators.
User-defined operators enhance the ability of making unreadable messy code. And giving the class Identity does Monad the >>= operator.
Also, anonymous functions.
$m.bind { $^a+2 }; $m >>= { $^a+2 }; $m.bind -> $x { $x+2 } vs m.bind(lambda x: """the forced __one_linerization__ of lambda""")

"""the forced __one_linerization__ of lambda"""
I fucking knew it. Python has officially crippled itself.

It has been so since they put lambda in the language.
A lambda is not a function, is a callable object that can execute just one expression, in a language full of statements.

However, you can most certainly implement something like prog1 or progn in Python, and you can even do it with lambda:

prog1 = lambda *a: [f() for f in a][0]
progn = lambda *a: [f() for f in a][-1]

You can get very, very far indeed in Python without any "statements", especially if you plan on writing code with NO EXCEPTIONS.

Too bad LCs are SLOW AS FUCK, for they NEED to STORE EVERY return value of EVERY function call.

Also,
lambda x: progn(anus.hax(),
      board(x).reply(thread_id, """
Oh god how did I get here I am not good with computers
""",
      something(x), something2(x))

The pleasure of separing your expressions with ,.

And before the expr and expr2 trick:
Too bad short circuits are SLOW AS FUCK, for they NEED to TEST EVERY return value of EVERY expression, and what if my expression returns False? Ｉ　ｆｅｅｌ　ｋｉｎｄ　ｏｆ　ｂａｄ　ａｂｏｕｔ　：（

And before everything else:
Too bad you can't assign variables in your shitty lambdas, because GvR van Rossum decided to make assignment a statement!
