Another example of ignorance.

Perl's "." operator and Pythons .append() list method, are two entirely different things.

You've also managed to miss (like many), for primary points of the examples I cited: 

a.) clearer, more concise syntax
b.) a shorter path to producing autogenerating documentation
c.) having to only worry about, maybe, 4-5 different styles to maintain vs. 20
d.) far fewer rules to remember

I did say I was done with this thread, but I refuse to leave ignorance unchecked.

I wrote this thread, hoping for concrete examples to the contrary of what I've said, and all I've ended up with is general "cuz I like it better" comments made by people who know almost nothing about Python.
