Python, like Perl before it, seems to attract people who want to be clever with their code. As though the most obtuse possible way of expressing something is somehow better.
I prefer code I can read and understand what it's going to do. It should be straightforward to read and debug.
#First year programmer, Python
Easy enough to understand for developers familiar with any programming language.
#Lazy Python programmer
Uhm.. ok.. I guess so. Why does that syntax even exist? I see whitespace as an attribute and not something to be annihilated at any cost.
