Quote:

    I've seen Python criticized as "ugly" precisely because it doesn't 
    have a trick-based view of the world. 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 it.
