Well, I had the fun to work with it for a few months in Blender to write shaders and game logic, later on enjoyed studying the portage-sources written in Python and came to the conclusion that the language may be well-defined, but almost everything based on it suffering from namespace-inconcistency. I understand that the developers prefer well-definedness over backwards-support, but it definitely is not too much to ask for not having code break after minor version upgrades. I also don't like the idea of lambda-functions, but this depends on personal taste. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
