Re: Sin tax
A language that refuses to let you put minuses in filenames is not a language I want to use.
ALL my filenames have a name such as 'this-is-a-file-of-mine.txt'. WTF will Python not let me use this? Just because it thinks this is some sort of arithmetic expression.
Fuck off. If I have a file like this on a read-only filesystem I'm stuffed. There may be some exotic way round it, but if I can't easily (or at all) create files with minuses I'm not going to entertain the language.
Pile of poo -- end of.
