There's no honest attempt to explain the philosophy behind every language with real-world examples in Python. It's just childish jokes.

It's the equivalent of saying "Ze fish in le river" is "Frenchish English". Ha ha, stupid French people, right?

It's easy to make fun of programming languages like this, but what does that teach us? Aside from to mock what is different than what we use right now?

While I wrote this with tongue in cheek, I also aimed to illuminate the power of Python's flexibility along with the inherent danger therein. I do admit the Javacious example was over the top though ;)
Yes, it's a joke. I know it's against the guidelines of this site, but it's quite a nice joke.
As any French person will tell you, it should be "Ze fish in la river".
