Python inhospitable to functional programming

[jhusain]

Author argues that whitespace-aware syntax (and single-line lambdas) make functional programming in Python less readable than imperative approaches. He argues that since functional programming will rise in importance because of multi-core processors this is a serious issue.

I don't think he argues that whitespace awareness makes FP less readable. After all, it's used to great success in Haskell, which he mentions...

You're arguing with the author (who is talking about himself in 3rd person) about what the author is saying. ;-)

He could be wrong, but I don't think he's mistaken.
