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.
What functional programming features do you use, Xah? Last time I've checked, you didn't care about closures. In this respect, Python is better at functional programming than Emacs Lisp.
Do you just like writing arbitrarily long expression? Or you think that eval is functional?
