Josiah Carlson:
>It turns out that those one-liners are not considered Pythonic.<
I agree, and I don't like them.
But the : becomes useful for that situation. Otherwise it seems less
useful to me.
>If you don't like indentation as scope,<
I like indentation as scope, and I like Python, I think I've never
said otherwise :-)
>In my opinion, the structure, syntax, readability, etc. of programs
written in Mathematica leaves something to be desired.<
I agree again, and the editor is non-standard (on windows).
But I think it's a powerful language, with many built in functions,
well designed, etc.
Alex Martelli:
>I'd like to see tabs forbidden in string literals -- using \t when
you mean tab is more readable, and the one obvious way to do it.<
I agree.
Thank you for all your answers,
a bear hug,
