The sound bite of a loyal Python coder:)

If it weren't for these "useless" threads, you wouldn't have even been able
to send that message, let alone do anything on a computer for that matter.

That generalization is a "bit" broad, the argument is pointless when it moves
away from a purely technical to an emotionally basis. A failure to separate the
two pigeonholes the progress of the language and hides underlying constraints
which is what Armins post was trying to bring forward.

It's naïve to think the first crack of anything is immune to refactoring.

No one said Python doesn't have any merit and I honestly don't know a
perfect language that has no need for improvement somewhere. I am sure
however that the topic is a concern for many use cases (not all).
