  To me, it's obvious---Python is an opinionated program.  There's only
*one* way to do things.  That, and an almost forced programming style. 
People really seem to like belligerent software ("don't make me think,
bro!") [1].

  -spc (Oh, and the slow release schedule of Lua is anathema to today's
	CADT hipster programmers [3]).

[1]	Like Go.  "There is one way to format code!  [2] And any features we
	deem "difficult" are ignored.

[2]	I'm really surprised that the developers of Go dropped the ball and
	didn't enforce the style at the language level.  The wimps!
