Python, Lambda, and Guido van Rossum Xah Lee, 2006-05-05 In this post, i'd like to deconstruct one of Guido's recent blog about lambda in Python. In Guido's blog written in 2006-02-10 at http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=147358 is first of all, the title “Language Design Is Not Just Solving Puzzles”. In the outset, and in between the lines, we are told that “I'm the supreme intellect, and I created Python”. This seems impressive, except that the tech geekers due to their ignorance of sociology as well as lack of analytic abilities of the mathematician, do not know that creating a language is a act that requires little qualifications. However, creating a language that is used by a lot people takes considerable skill, and a big part of that skill is salesmanship. Guido seems to have done it well and seems to continue selling it well, where, he can put up a title of belittlement and get away with it too. ( Read more...Collapse ) |
