Disappointing how this author's hyper-criticism of Python is not applied equally to Rust, presumably because Rust is newer and this author has other bones to pick with Python. If Rust has a problem, he will sell that it is charming (e.g. "it makes you think", "you just need to think differently", "needs more love"). The glass will be full any day now! But if any new effort in Python is not absolutely perfect or just not to his personal taste, he will sell that it's because Python is a horrible pile of shit because nobody listens to him. The glass isn't only half empty, it is also too hard, too brittle, too cold and actually also too warm and it turns out that not even its transparency is a good feature.

After several years of this routine, it has become very old. For God's sake, if your ex is so bad then just move out of her house already. Don't just keep eating the dinners she prepares and complaining about them and saying you'll move out. Actually move out and stop talking about her all the time. Yet another article about how you can't stand how she clips her nails is not helping anyone.



The criticisms of Python covers about one sentence, and they're all to the point. I don't see how you can turn a well-written post 99% about Rust into "hyper-criticism of Python".

I'm not sure we're talking about the same Armin here...

Presumably because this attitude is what you've seen from the author before? Or presumably because you just assume that he is a "Magpie Developer"? If its the latter, that seems like a really unfair presumption.
