if 3.0 looks like... print( "{0}={1}".format('this',99)) , WTF... thats retarded and looks like Ruby code. Thats not intuitive thats madness! What happens when you need a conversion to string from an integer, more code?? My faith is slipping. Have the python Gods gone mad??. Please tell me i am wrong.
Pythons likeness to C is one of its great powers. I always thought of Python as an intuitive way to write C code. I am sticking with 2x(which i had planned to do anyway) I have heard of nothing significant enough to compel me to make the change yet. And with that example from 3.0, i am really setting my ways now. i may have to support the continuation of 2.x beyond 2.9. Guido! please don't play Russian roulette with Python! I have loved python all the way up through the 2.x line. And i carry a great respect for you and your accomplishments. Python must feel at home to a C programmer. That, i feel, is the professional following for Python. I also feel Python is a gateway to the C language for n00b programmers. Let Ruby have the Perl programmers, we don't need them! Excuse me, I think i am going to cry now :( -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
