> My real problem with the evolution of Python is that initially, the language and the community was positioned as anti-Java, anti-big-OOP-like-C++, and then it changed into the thing that it was against, but in a roundabout and suboptimal way. To me, the initial vibe of Python was, "write a 100-line script, don't worry about explicitly documenting types, don't worry about grand architecture, don't worry about creating custom classes, don't worry about encapsulation and public/private". I've been with Python since year 2007 in the 2.x days, and Java since 2002. It really wasn't that anti-Java. Late 90s / early 2000s had a huge branch that was very dedicated to Java-style OOP. E.g. anything to do with Zope, and GvR himself worked on that at the time. Zope even has had its own ABC / interface system, specifically modeled after Java interfaces. stdlib logging is a reimplementation of log4j in Python and so on. |
