Uhm... I think wrongness of code is generally fairly indicative of wrongness of thinking :) If I write a rant about how Python's list type sucks and it turns out my code is using it like a cons cell and never putting more than two elements into a list, then you would accurately conclude that I'm wrong about the state of data type support in Python. I don't have a problem with someone coming to the list here with misconceptions. That's what discussions are for. But rants like that, on blogs, I quickly get weary of reading. The tone is always "Look what's so wrong", not inviting dialogue, and I can't be bothered digging into the details to compose a full response. Chances are the author's (a) not looking at what 3.4 and what's happened to improve things (and certainly not 3.5 and what's going to happen), and (b) not listening to responses anyway.
