In the time you spent posting and flaming and arguing and killfiling
people on comp.lang.python, you could have read tutorials and --
presuming you're actually a competent C++ programmer -- could have
become an already-productive Python programmer.  You would have had the
answers to all your questions, and more.

Instead your spent your time getting a whole lot of people annoyed with
you, and managed to rationalize a justification for a decision you'd
clearly already made before you started this mess.  Now, at the end of
all of this, you still know almost nothing about Python; just yesterday
you were asking people what kind of support Python had for floating
point.

Which of these two methods would have been more productive?
