> Generic language criticism in 2024

Research on PL design is alive and well in 2024, and Python is nowhere near the cutting edge. I never said it didn't get the job done, or that people shouldn't learn or use it.

It's just not as elegant or simple of a PL design as people sometimes seem to think it is. It's hard to look at something like Clojure or Haskell next to Python and to come to the conclusion that python is particularly elegant.

I think my main point got lost on people who took offense to my dislike for python: my main point is that you should also learn languages that are very different / that are in an altogether different branch.
