Discussion on: Python 2 VS Python 3

It's really hard for me to have a meaningful discussion because you mix outrageous things like "Python is bad for your brain" with understandable things like "We need languages with concurrency builtin" :-)

Also you say stuff that contradicts statements you made five minutes before. You say "functional paradigms work better on concurrent computing" but then you just finished arguing that the best things are Go and C, neither of them is strictly functional and they are as functional as any general purpose language: you can write code "functional style" instead of using OOP for everything. Which you can do in Python as well by the way, nobody forbids it.

I agree that there are better languages than (C)Python 3 for writing massively concurrent applications, but from there to saying "it's bad for your brain" is a looooong stretch I'm not willing to follow you on, I'm sorry.

Going around calling people morons isn't productive at all especially because you equate your personal experience or preference with "fact" which to me amounts only to perceived arrogance, not objectivity.

Defending your opinion using technology masters that might have been verbally abusive (and some still are) is also not the best way to advance your argument. Read the room ;-)
