i don't like python, and i prefer emacs lisp. The primary reason is that python is not functional, especially with python 3. The python community is full of fanatics with their drivels. In that respect, it's not unlike Common Lisp community and Scheme lisp community. see also: 〈Python Documentation Problems〉 http://xahlee.org/perl-python/python_doc_index.html 〈Computer Language Design: What's List Comprehension and Why is It Harmful?〉 http://xahlee.org/comp/list_comprehension.html 〈Lambda in Python 3000〉 http://xahlee.org/perl-python/python_3000.html 〈What Languages to Hate〉 http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/writ/language_to_hate.html 〈Xah on Programing Languages〉 http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/comp_lang.html Xah -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
