I especially liked:
"Python treats programmers as intelligent people. It doesn't
specifically put barriers in their way which can cause
confusion (eg. public/private/protected attribute distinctions
that are circumventable in some other language implementations
anyway, leading to horrible, horrible code).
Pitfall avoided: Treating programmers like babies, asking them
to be overly explicit in every little thing they do, and
locking them out from things that they might hurt themselves
on."
I like to be in control, and to not have to work around problems
that wouldn't even exist if the language designers weren't
trying to protect me from doing stupid things.
