The Guy does not even know his *python*... (Score:1)

by hummassa (6137)

he rants against ruby's yield !!! I think he didn't know about generators, etc,... I thought the article was not serious while reading it: The biggest problem I have with a new language is SEMANTICS, not syntax (ok, sometimes the way syntax express the semantics), but only if the semantics are too alien for me (like Haskell... I didn't grok it yet, but I'm trying).
