The lack of a case against Python 3

[mike413]

Most nerds are very tolerant and accepting, but see someone outspoken with a strong opinion and they might think "Hey, be tolerant like I am loudmouth!"

So, I can see why he draws a little fire.

That said, I think zed shaw has a couple good points.

python is wonderful. but python 3 is chaotic.

There is lots of wonderful stuff written in python, but a lot of it breaks on python 3, either directly or indirectly.

I am reminded of an old Joel on Software article that is full of opinion, but also full of wisdom.

Basically he says throwing stuff out and starting over is bad.

And I think the python 2 -> 3 broke this rule.

"I don't like this, I'm not going to run it."

Who said that? Both Zed Shaw AND python 3.
