And of course people have.I'd like to thank Victor Stinner and Eli 
Bendersky for their articles about aspects of Python and its 
implementation. I've found both useful to go back to. Others may like to 
bookmark these:

I looked briefly for an article on .join(), but amusingly all I found 
was further evidence that the question that started this thread is a 
recurring one (https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2008/06/06/python-impressions).
