  1. Major problems still not fixed by walterbyrd · · Score: 0, Troll

    IMO: 3.x is a stupid "upgrade. "

    Many things were changed, that nobody wanted changed. Major problems, such as the white space issue are not fixed.

    3.x gave the core developers an opportunity, a mile wide, to fix python's worst design flaws. But they ignored those flaws, and did what they wanted to do, which serves no purpose.

    The core developers are designing a language for themselves, and nobody else.
