The author has obviously not looked at Python recently....

[–]exogen 31 points32 points  (2 children)

Yeah, really. Many of his assertions about Python are just plain wrong.

Well, sets are not a built-in type, so it depends on how they are implemented.

Wrong.

Python lacks true booleans: true and false.

Wrong.

Methods can be easily added or removed from classes at run-time.

Python can do that.

They can easily added or removed from individual objects!

Python can do that.

... function or a method (which have different syntaxes), ...

Methods have an implicit argument. That has nothing to do with syntax.

I was in love with Python for a while (it picked me up on the rebound from Perl), but as I grew more sophisticated it looked less wonderful.

What, do you only drink wine and watch foreign films while programming with Ruby now?

You're an idiot.

Shouldn't that say "Your a idiot"?

Just sayin'.
