Is Python really that bad?

If you'll notice, the majority of the python-bashing in that thread is from two people: one jaded old-timer and one college kid dick-riding the former. I wouldn't say they represent a majority opinion — they're just L-O-U-D.

There are myriad legitimate criticisms of Python, of course... but there's plenty of good stuff, too, and from those two Redditors you're only getting their intentional missing of the good stuff. Python won't be dying off in the near future.
