<i>I think his point is a bit deeper than "I don't like it".</i><p>How so? Everything in this article -- and nearly any point one could make about a programming language -- comes down to a matter of taste.<p>Take your example -- Python "has objects, but not in an 'opinionated' sense." What you see as a lack of purity, I see as just the right amount of pragmatism. To me, "un-opinionated" classes is a positive point, not a negative one. Where Zidek sees "inherently static" standard libraries, I see inherently stable ones. Where he sees a distressing lack of encapsulation I see a refreshing relaxing of constraints.<p>I'd go on, but I think you get the point.<p>You know what's awesome, though? If you don't like Python <i>you don't have to use it!</i><p>But you know what isn't awesome? When you complain about this free thing that nobody's forcing you to use. You're just shitting all over someone else's hard work... for what? Page views?<p>Hacker News -- hell, the whole Internet -- would be a better place if people just shut the hell up about whatever's got their undies in a twist this time.
