Well, there are many languages that promote a specific style of programming and many of the ideas developed have been incorporated in later, more general languages to good effect. But for a language that wants to be a general purpose language, yea, I guess I think it's bad. A general purpose language should strive to support as wide a varity of styles as possible. But this is getting rather off-topic. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
