But the whole point of making Guido BDFL was to codify his intuition WRT language decisions. There's a reason why we here are using Python instead of other languages, and as Guido himself has noted, often he knows what the right decisions is without being able to explain it. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "In many ways, it's a dull language, borrowing solid old concepts from many other languages & styles: boring syntax, unsurprising semantics, few automatic coercions, etc etc. But that's one of the things I like about it." --Tim Peters on Python, 16 Sep 1993 _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
