smeg··on What’s New In Python 3.3
Py3 is much worse.

At least Perl 6 is aiming for some amazing advances that will trade off quite well (if it is ever delivered) against breaking compatibility with Perl5.

Py3 broke compatibility (at least at the extension layer) for what exactly...now I can say print() instead of print ""? What a joke.

smeg··on A single tweet page is 2.0 MB
"His rant doesn't seem too informed"

Worse than that, he seemed to lack some basic understanding of the modern web. The Twitter webpage is not simply a "page" in the traditional sense - it is one instance of the Twitter client app, that happens to be written in Javascript and runs in a Browser.

2MB for a rich client app? Doesn't sound like overkill to me.
