Who Said that?

A quick Python quote quiz from @saoili

As it seems to me, in Perl you have to be an expert to correctly make a nested data structure like, say, a list of hashes of instances. In Python, you have to be an idiot not to be able to do it, because you just write it down.

In many ways, it's a dull language, borrowing solid old concepts from many other languages & styles: boring syntax, unsurprising semantics, few automatic coercions, etc etc. But that's one of the things I like about Python.

Python is the "most powerful language you can still read".

Python is a truly wonderful language. When somebody comes up with a good idea it takes about 1 minute and five lines to program something that almost does what you want. Then it takes only an hour to extend the script to 300 lines, after which it still does almost what you want.

Python is more concerned with making it easy to write good programs than difficult to write bad ones.

Abstraction is one of those notions that Python tosses out the window, yet expresses very well.

And then there's Guido

The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code -- not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death.

Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another's code; too little and expressiveness is endangered.
 

Invariably, you'll find that if the language is any good, your users are going to take it to places where you never thought it would be taken.
