The new Python site is incredibly boring. Sorry to say this. The old site is/was amateurish but engaged. Now after ~15 years of existence Pythons looks like it wants to be popular among directors of a german job centers. It aims to do everything right but what could be said worse? The text on the beginners page tries to argue with the potential users in a pointless monologue. Who wants to read this text? Who wants to be convinced that Python is *not* slow? "Do you stop beating your wife?" And where is fun, irony and black humour? Why Python? "Python in industry" - I see chimneys of 19th century factories, proletarian heroes as well as futuristic hybrid robots superseeding humanity. "Python community" - a dutch grand-family photo from the beginning of the 20ths century - some ( or all? ) of the members are accidentally looking like Guido, "Python in science" - snake-like RNA strand. It need not be like this but I wonder about the total lack of personality.
