Re: “Python's batteries are leaking”
#2Why, time and time again, does Guido seem incapable of reasonable debate, or ideas that challenge his own? It's completely rude to interrupt a presenter with 'what is your point?'
Years ago I was in contact with the author of Nuitka, who was very excited to share his work thus far. During his presentation, Guido kept huffing and making snide comments under his breath. All because he disagrees with the premise behind Nuitka.
I like Python, and can appreciate his work and contributions. That said, I can't help think the community can become less toxic without him as BDFL.

Apologies if it wasn't clear, but that's what I was alluding to. A lot of folks, and to an extent myself, feel that it will become a worse, design by committee language. I was just trying to point out the upside.

Reading the article, she seemed to handle it well, and he stormed off.

#7Wow this is not the conduct I expect from a language creator. I don’t care if you’re Albert Einstein. Humility and being able to take criticism is far more admirable to me.

Maybe he’s simply burnt out? The pressure of being in charge of something as big as Python must be intense. People make demands on his time and expect the “benevolent dictator” to cunningly solve everything like a modern day Salomon.
I know he gave up the title, but as he personifies Python, I imagine the influx of requests for his attention may not have subsided much.

#9When I first used python like 20 years ago I was blown away by how much functionality was blown in, and it can be annoying using languages where even the most basic functionality involves downloading 50 packages from the internet, but on the other hand the standard library does seem to be a mess now.

It seems that those programming language communities which have a more "social" aspect also tends to lead to more associated drama like this.
