   Just yesterday I was visiting his page and reading his articles. He is
one of the clearest thinkers and writers I've ever saw.

   Well, rough (if not rude) approximation of his idea is "Python is still
not List, and thus is not yet sufficient." Yes, he definitely has good
reasons to admire Lisp, but other people may disagree with the idea
"whatever is not Lisp is not sufficient". I strongly disagree on practical
reason - Python is not my first or my only language (I was using a lot of
languages - Fortran, C, Pascal, Perl, assemblers of different processors),
and of this list Perl was the ugliest language I used, I have too much
problems programming... well, better to say "trying to program in it" -
and Python is the most beutiful, the most elegant language, it allows me to
program in the most efficient way.
   Sapienti sat.

Oleg.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
