I agree, this is a trash post full of hot stinky air : - name-calling without any actual examples - no actual comparison with Basic, the extremely simplistic "popular" sticker covers massive differences in use, users, functional coverage of libraries, and so on - non-programmers that program use python? this is leveraging python's value as a teaching language in the most derogatory way possible - "ugly historical baggage" ? sure, show me a better designed language, show me the baggage
