Thank you for your honesty, but trolling is not welcome. However if you have actual issues about Python, either pro or con, and hope to have a serious, respectful dialog where both parties listen to each other, feel free to raise them here. Keep in mind three things: - We've probably heard all your arguments a thousand times before. It's unlikely that you are either the first or the last person to notice that (e.g.) Python has significant indentation. So expect a certain amount of brusqueness. - If your argument boils down to "Python isn't <insert language here>" we will not be sympathetic, and will probably sneer or laugh at you privately. And possibly publicly too. - If you hope to convince the Python community to change <feature X>, we are constrained by backwards-compatibility issues, policies, and design decisions. Frequently there are (mis-)features that we simply have to live with, for good or ill. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
