> my friend made a write up before about the inadequecies of python

To be honest, this seems like even less of a balanced criticism than the article this overall discussion is based on. A more balanced summary of the valid points might be: "Python has issues that you will probably trip over in certain kinds of applications". Which is true of every language.

It also works very well as an application language, just not for all types of applications. Which, again, is true of every language.
