That's a relief. Of course, Guido has seen the future of programming.
The majority of our processing is visual, and we Love consistent
patterns, which is why everyone leaves the farm for the big city. As a
former freelance webmaster (due to dislike of dealing with cheap
customers, not incapacity), I recall the tortured line-endings of a
nested Jquery chain, that made your eyes spin. The funny thing is,
when they didn't work, you'd break them up into different lines, and
indent them like, like, Python, so you could figure out what you'd
done. This is so much easier on the eyes than jQuery. But Guido says
"..no Python for browsers," alas. Hopefully, he's not too prescient.
Why not javascript And Python for browsers? There just has to be
enough of a clamor for it.
