Nonsense. The fact that an experienced programmer, gets to be extremely familiar with some languages
and thus gets his expectations adapted, doesn't mean that there is something wrong with what newby's

On the contrary, the regularity with how this subjects keep coming up, is an indication that this
is a problem with python.
