Problems I Have with Python
Some of the author&#x27;s points are valid. However, many are subjective preferences, and some are gripes without solutions, and others make it difficult to understand the author&#x27;s underlying philosophy.<p>My main critique is that the author added this statement that puts a negative, entitled, and naive tone on the whole article:<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; to which no real improvements are being made for some reason. (Incompetence? Politics? Both? Who knows.)<p>The author is not acknowledging that some of his points were not addressed because of reasons other than incompetence and&#x2F;or politics. I imagine this statement could offend some of the smart and hard-working people who are working on improving the python language.<p>Reasons the author does not acknowledge:<p>- the community does not agree with the author&#x27;s subjective idea of what Python should look like<p>- the solutions to a problem (I&#x27;m thinking GIL) come with a lot of consequences which are not readily acceptable<p>- solving some of the issues would exacerbate backwards compatibility. This would increase the author&#x27;s problems even more, because, as he states &quot;This is particularly a pain for libraries where I expect to pip install them and have them &quot;Just Work&quot;.&quot;
