Thank You, Guido
> It is so intuitive and beautifully designed<p>No it's not. Significant whitespace, underscores that mean things, lack of type system (but people treat variables as typed anyway), et all,  make it quite a difficult language to understand. And we won't get into performance problems that it's cult following turns a blind eye to.<p>I will say Python has inspired a generation of languages that got away from the C-inspired syntax. We're moved to critically thinking about _why_ we write code the way we do, rather than simply accepting things because "that's the way it's done" and for that we owe Python a great debt.
