• Python

    Was my second vote, because of bad experiences.

    1. it's very restrictive, how can you claim to be allow multiple paradigms like functional programing, and restrict lambdas ( i.e. anonymous subs) to one statement?

    2. misconceptions thru opinionated formatting ( pretty != good )

      When I once ran my first convoluted draft for my master thesis thru LATEX I was very impressed how it started to look like serious mathematics while I knew it was just a shitty brainstorm.

      The same applies to Python, the worst bunch of code still looks like proper well designed software, because whitespace formatting is obligatory.

      While I wouldn't mind if we had a use tidy which forced Perl into a well defined perltidy format, it's leading to misconception.

      I hate those fanboys who code worse than a newbie but still judge their code by the format. You can't argue against stupidity.

    3. last time I looked into pypi it really smelled like pipi. No comparison to CPAN.
