Is it just me, or does that look like Python?

Since Guido invented the words "list" and "string" in python at least, I guess him using them doesn't bother me.

WTF, Guido wrote that!? I will jump out of a window now.

That kind of should be the first train of thought in python too, why using "+" to add strings!? it maybe fixed in py3k but its still not worth it in py2.X

<pre> return ''.join(map(chr, list)) </pre>

Also the liberal use of the words list and string bothers me.
