Status of PEP's?

[Samuele Pedroni]

Just another  contradictory *datapoint*
(I have personally lost the illusion to be
able to tell what is newbie friendly or not,
without field-experimentation)

Everything is an object is as much
a CS abstraction as functional programming
is a mixed CS/mathematics abstraction.

It is not totally clear to me whether when
they are pushed to the extreme they
are friendly. Are they?

Smalltalk try to deal with such
corners compesating
 vaguely mimicking english:

1 to: 20 do: [...].
10 timesRepeat: [...].

These forms in some sense (my
very personal impression)
try to hide that 1 is an object here,
not to underline that.

What about "for i in 10"
from this angle of view ?
