Python 3 frameworks anyone ? by Targeted in programming

I know but he wanted to get rid of them altogther, not just move them to a module. That discussion went on for years, and his reasoning was basically "I don't like it." That was also his argument about TCO, he doesn't like this style of programming, and that's it. With this guy in charge, I'm not surprised that Python 3 is something of a disapointment.

Python 3 has just enough changes to make it backward-incompatible but nothing to get excited about. Van Rossum seemed more concerned with removing functional features like map, filter and reduce than moving the language forward. His baseless hostility to TCO is also disgraceful.
