I spent way too much time reading the recent massive ">500-messages"
thread, and then spent even more time (perhaps better spent) reading
wider on some aspects of the debate.
This recently-found link sets out (from one possibly-biased POV, I
guess) how the rift between GNU Emacs and XEmacs occurred:
http://www.jwz.org/doc/lemacs.html
After reading the page, and in light of much of the
"your-syntax-is-obscure/mine-is-clear/easy-to-read/hard-to-read"
discussion on said ">500-messages" thread, I found the last line on the
above lemacs.html page very funny, and wanted to share it.
Not saying that such a thing couldn't ever be said about some given
implementation of something complex in python (or any language, for
that matter), but I still had a good chuckle.
