Indeed. I especially enjoyed the following two comments. As Chesterton put it: “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.” :-)
Guido van Rossum:
It’s okay if Python occasionally shows its lighter side in unexpected places. Think of the delight of future (junior) high schoolers who discover that Python participates in the tau debate. :-)
Guido once again shows he is not a mathematicians (honestly, most of the “arguments” for tau are plain nonsense), but he is a fantastic popularizer. I (and most of the other professional mathematicians) will love Python a tiny bit less, but a horde of people will love it more, and it’s a fine tradeoff. :-)
