Python

You can't put a single backslash at the end of a r"" string:

>>> print("\abc")
bc (causes terminal to beep)
>>> print(r"\abc")
\abc
>>> print(r"abc\\")
abc\\
>>> print(r"abc\")
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print(r"abc\")
                  ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

Fuck!

[b]\abc[/b] produces \abc
[b]abc\\[/b] produces [b]abc\[/b]
[b]abc\[/b] produces [b]abc[/b]

Python is as stupid as Shitchan!

Then you are fucked, print r'\'' prints "\'", with a backslash.

Also, the proper way to do literal strings is to 1) allow literal EOLs, because it's a fucking literal string, 2) use pascal-style escaping of quotes by doubling. Seeshurp does it right, for example.

Python's way is retarded, it was a quick hack for writing regexes bolted on without any due consideration. I think at this point everyone in the community acknowledges it. Stop your pointless excuses and grow the fuck up, having a feature that sucks doesn't mean that entire language sucks, there's no need to get all butthurt about it and try to prove that it doesn't suck, against all reason.
