OK, I understand now. But I think it's true for all popular programming languages, not only Python. And it's not only for programming languages. I can see many too-defensive people on Twitter. Honestly speaking, I'm too defensive sometimes, too. Anyway, I feel "Cult-like behavior" in mail subject was misleading when discussing about byte-transparent string vs unicode string. Such powerful words may make people more defensive, and heat non productive discussion. (I know it's not you start using "cult-like behavior" in subject. I don't blame anyone. I just want share I noticed.) Regards, -- INADA Naoki <songofaca...@gmail.com> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
