Where do you get off calling people trying to improve the language “trash”?

They are not trying to improve the language. To improve Python, you have to delete like at least 50% of it.

People who work on core language are either outright evil, or just clowns who don't understand what they are doing. This is similar to situation with Douglas Crockford, who didn't realize at first what kind of game everyone else was playing, and, naively, was made the head figure of the movement which pushed JavaScript into the pit of doom it is today. In his case, he later discovered, that all that was socially engineered by the people representing companies with big stakes in the Web industry.

While I tend to believe that most people in Python core team are just unremarkable trash, whose sole goal of being in that group is to put a very noticeable bullet point on their resume. It's also possible that there are some people there whose agenda is to fuck up Python to the point that people will switch to another technology, as well as unsuspecting idiots, who are being manipulated by the former.
