Genious Algorithm: Factorial Tree Sort

Name: Anonymous 2011-06-02 2:57


 Factorial Tree Sort reads an array of integers and randomly arranges the order of those integers. It then checks to see if the array is sorted, if the array is sorted, Factorial Tree Sort has done its job. If the array is not sorted

If your language a special global/non-local syntax, its scoping rules are probably broken. Python has both.
If your language has anonymous function, and its function-definition syntax function f(args ...) body ... is not an alias for/equivalent to f = function(args ...) body ..., its anonymous functions are probably broken.

Python promotes consistency[1], the asymmetry created by its crippled lambdas should be inacceptable.
As a workaround, they usually say ``use a nested[2] function'', which not only breaks the wonderful variable/function symmetry, but it's also impratical[3] in lambda-heavy code.

Python super is both complex[4] and complicated[5].

Thus, Python is broken both at pratical and philosophical level.

[1] Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
[2] Flat is better than nested.
[3] Although practicality beats purity.
[4] Simple is better than complex.
[5] Complex is better than complicated.
