I did not say the choice of, I said the advantage and disadvantage of; there is _quite a bit of difference_ between such statements. If I had said the former, I would agree with you, but as I said the latter, I'll remark thus: in use they become very apparent, to anyone whose used much of either style. Designing and using a language are different things. On Sep 14, 3:38 pm, Andreas Waldenburger <use...@geekmail.invalid> wrote: > Wow, dude. Easy.

There's no intention of attacking or defending anything, just of being concise! Two things I learned at an early age, a C programmer can write C in any language - and making Adam into Eve is probably a bad idea. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
