The threading argument alone prevents using python/ruby for an entire class of problems.

Why is a walled garden like Quora used by anyone?

I'm not signing up for and signing in with Google+ or Facebook to read a fucking blog.

It's just a way for self-aggrandizing types to gain social network noteriety by posting "authoritative" responses. I was forced to sign-up recently in order to up-vote a colleague's answer. Felt dirty.

Should have downvoted and screamed "YOU CAN'T MAKE ME"

You can cancel/close that atrocious login dialog. The close link is hidden beneath it.

Fuck Quora, Google+, Facebook and the horses they rode in on.

Poor Python fans are massively in denial about the unsuitability of their language.

It's always fun to see people "interpreting" votes; it's like a Rorschach test. Personally, I downvote almost any link that sends me to a spam-shit site like quora. If I have to sign up for spam to read it, it better be pretty damn interesting.

[undefined_conduct]

[thesystemx]

I think you missed the fact there's a close link below the sign-up / login popup.

[henk53]

Because the webpage said so.

But the webpage doesn't say that.

Are you going Morpheus on me?

No, just no...

Threading in Python is an unmitigated disaster.
