Anybody know of the appropriate place to troll and flame about various
Python related issues? I'm kind of mad about some Python stuff and I
need a place to vent where people may or may not listen, but at at least
respond. Thought this would be a strange question, but I might as well
start somewhere.
Thank you for your honesty, but trolling is not welcome.
However if you have actual issues about Python, either pro or con, and
hope to have a serious, respectful dialog where both parties listen to
each other, feel free to raise them here. Keep in mind three things:
- We've probably heard all your arguments a thousand times before. It's
unlikely that you are either the first or the last person to notice
that (e.g.) Python has significant indentation. So expect a certain
amount of brusqueness.
- If your argument boils down to "Python isn't <insert language here>"
we will not be sympathetic, and will probably sneer or laugh at you
privately. And possibly publicly too.
- If you hope to convince the Python community to change <feature X>,
we are constrained by backwards-compatibility issues, policies, and
design decisions. Frequently there are (mis-)features that we simply
have to live with, for good or ill.
