Fair enough, I never intended it to be posted to HN or receive this much attention or I'd have taken much more care with the tone.

I retract the "ignorance" sentiment, as I do not actually know what Python developers are considering.

I do apologize for that, and thank you for your contributions. It is still by far one of my favorite languages, and I use it daily. :)

More commenters here, including me, tried to explain you that even before Brett chimed in. It shouldn't be even necessary that somebody like he does that. Just imagine how many users there are in the world, imagine the burden of the people who invest their energy in maintaining that huge project. It's the users and all the already written programs that make it huge, not the code base alone.

> I do apologize for that

Maybe making your apology visible on your blog too?
