Go or Unladen Swallow? (LtU) (lambda-the-ultimate.org)

It depends.

Unless

a) Go proves to solve a set of problems prettier languages don't

and

b) I have problems like these

I will stay with the pretty ones.

Braces are so 70's...


I'll take thousands of braces over significant whitespace any day.


I would prefer begin/end pairs or parentheses over braces.

But I quite like the indentation mechanism for Python.


The blog post only mentions Unladen Swallow in the title!


The Python community is abuzz with the news/allegation that Google is discouraging internal use of Python for new projects. Sorry about the confusion.

No, morons are abuzz, no one of above average intelligence is.


I'm not sure what the behavior dynamics are in LtU, but it's a forum topic asking what seems like an open question to the LtU community, rather than what one would call a blog post.


Really? The post title as I am seeing it now is the same as posted here, verbatim.
