You bet . Thanks for the question . <| sep |> What kind of notebook is this ? super cool . <| sep |> I was going to write a summary for the benefit of whoever wanted to skip the original article The Case Against Python 3 , but it ' s not even worth reading . He calls Python ' s strings statically typed , when he obviously means strongly typed . For somebody who works with a lot of languages , that ' s a pretty fundamental mistake . He repeatedly says things like these fantastic quotes I mean , if I struggle to use Python ' s strings then you don ' t have a chance . If I couldn ' t use Python 3 reliably then there ' s no way a total beginner could manage it . So each year I ' d attempt it , and fail , and wait until they fix it . It ' s not just those shining examples of humility . Every single point is riddled with logic errors , more disgusting egotism , and random assertions that it ' s mathematically wrong , of course coupled with no actual understanding of math , to the point that he essentially asserts that any language that doesn ' t have an implementation for literally every other turing complete language is not itself turing complete Currently you cannot run Python 2 inside the Python 3 virtual machine . Since I cannot , that means Python 3 is not Turing Complete and should not be used by anyone . My belief is the 2 to 3 is purposefully broken because it shows the flaw in the Python project ' s social manipulation and arrogance . They are telling everyone to manually translate projects to Python 3 . But , this is totally unnecessary because Mr . Turing says it ' s unnecessary . With a 100 % accurate 2 to 3 translator written in Python you are one step away from implementingDisgusting . I never read Learn Python the Hard Way , and I ' ll recommend that other people avoid it . Not because I dislike the author personally that doesn ' t really matter to me , but because he obviously has an incredibly weak understanding of not only basic logic and mathematics , and not only computer science itself , but even the language itself that he is trying to teach people .
