Love how everyone's getting themselves butthurt about Zed's opinion on a language. We all hated python3 at one point.

I did not. I started with Python 2 around 2009 (coming from a C and Perl background) and was surprised how backward string formatting is, and how unicode is messed up.

Then I started with Python 3 and was relieved to find named .format() parameters and bytes (vs. str). This is just an example - Python 3 is a very positive evolution.

(and yes, I read the arguments of the other (mistaken :)) group who advocates Python 2)
