Re: the Python talk (Score:1)

Ah, so it's a talk about how some Python advocates are crossing the line and starting to sound like Tom Christensen? ;-)
What would be useful is aiming it more toward potential advocates and saying, "here's how to advocate without alienating." One of the best ways to do this is to take the attitude that the right tool for the job is the best tool for the job, nothing more, nothing less. There are times when the right tool for the job is a language that you may not care for, or which may have serious failings, but that shouldn't matter if it's the best tool.
Good luck with the talk.
