You must be joking!  They threw everything in that looks like OO.
Then this mess of different data types with overloaded operators.
And all those special __ identifiers.  Ok, the non-freeform syntax
is a matter of taste but I don't like it.  And the last one is the
buggy reference counting...

Really, comparing that monster of Python with the simple, lean and
clean Lua -- your statement must be a joke.
