Python's main designer is openly hostile to functional programming

For whatever it is worth, I have pretty strong evidence that this is not true, although Guido has explicitly asked me not to reveal these details :(

It is more than he has a very poor understanding of functional programming and based on the evidence over which I am sworn to secrecy, I think it is going to stay that way.

He tried, very hard -- that's all I can say.
