So do you say "them and us", Python developers vs. users?
I've always had the "we all"-feeling. Maybe that's over.
I neither have the technical knowledge or the slightest inclination to wade
through tons of C codes,
I've been using Python because it's simple, clean and still very powerful.
I am unhappy to see that Python becomes cryptic, complex but more powerful.
