A program is a product of a person's creativity as is a programming language. They have an analogous relation as say a sculpture to chisels. This thread is a good example of how longwindedness of a discussion correlates with its uselessness. However the reverse error is more insidious: programs are made by humans and should be critiqued, whereas programming languages (in particular python) is sacrosanct and cannot be questioned. Too often I find that responders on this list treat as personal affront anyone who questions python whereas the most appropriate response would be: Nice idea but too invasive for serious consideration.
