It's amazing the nonsense some people believe. Name has been removed to protect the ignorant.
(15:18:35) ---: pythons isn't so bad, I just didn't realize that there were people doing serious work wit it
(15:18:54) jgrossberg: man there are people doing serious work with everything
(15:19:01) jgrossberg: they're still releasing versions of Tcl
(15:19:07) jgrossberg: and Yahoo Stores is done in Lisp
(15:19:44) ---: Lisp I can understand... even Prolog.... and somewhat Tcl.... but Python is such an outdated language
(15:19:53) jgrossberg: python outdated?!?
(15:19:59) jgrossberg: you sure you're thinking of the right lang?
(15:20:09) ---: Yep....
(15:20:21) jgrossberg: no you're mistaken
(15:20:25) jgrossberg: it's only become popular recently
(15:20:51) ---: Right, but the concepts behind the language are outdated altogether.
(15:21:52) ---: its from the same generation and conceptual model as basic and pascal (actually pascal passes it in some areas)
(15:22:58) ---: the language simply defies the concepts of 4g languages and design patterns
Ugh. Painful. And no, this guy has never used Python before and I do not think he was trolling.

Update Upon further reflection, I think he was talking about Perl, not Python.
