What I conclude is that you, the programmers, don’t really care about
those who are new to programming:
Whereas you exhibit your care for humanity by casually slandering those
who offer you a gift. Grow up. Seriously.

Your mirror image counterparts complain about the latter, saying that
Python should be consistent and have us write z.sin(), z.abs(), and
z.exp(2), etc.
Python is intentionally a mixed syntax and mixed paradigm language. Some
people find the mixture to be an advantage. If you want a pure language,
try something else.
