It is hard to accept inputs from people who dont appreciate that any technical decision require understanding the tradeoffs. It is true that python is not perfect, but perfection was never a goal. Python has made some tradeoffs, just like every other technical system. Also, just like any other technical system people are working towards improving in a specific direction. They only way to change or evolve that direction is to be part of the community, understanding it, and then influencing it. Abusing the community, calling it silly is plain stupid. The author's goal is clearly not in influencing a change but self aggrandising and proving himself right.
