It is a sad day for me when I see Python programmers writing x=3 or using
eight space tabs or putting a space before function call parentheses len
(seq) too, but I cope.
Its a sad day for me when I see people on mailing lists top posting and
not using capital letters or correct punctuation, but I cope with that
too.
In the long run, why do we always fear people coming from other
languages? Why don't they fear Python programmers coming to their
language and saying "Why do I have to bother with these type
declarations, why can't the compiler work it out?"
