Not at all what I was getting at. Most of the complaints here are trifling and/or matters of taste. There are good reasons to disfavor Python, but you have only provided bad ones.
I like to write my Python in a vertical monitor, it does reinforce keeping your lines short. There's always going to be examples where you just need to have that one line of arcane garbage, but for the most part I find that I can scan through a Python file much faster since I don't have to disect each line.
The point is to emphasize readability but the truth is that readability is pretty subjective. To each their own syntax, I guess.
Now you have your argument confused with one that works (and isn't bullshit). What's the comment I should reread? What's the comment I considered snarky?
No. And except for the ones in your most recent comment, you've gotten answers to all your questions, and have been evasive about every one that has been put to you.
I can jump to the end here: you want to see if there's some way out of how you've boxed yourself in and manage to pull off for your own sake a conversational win here—which is important to you. There isn't, and it shouldn't be this important.
Teaching C++ as a first language feels like a surefire way to embed bad habits to be unlearned once you get to the point of knowing what a `std::unique_ptr` is... but I just realized I'm also describing C.
Fuck.
I mean, at least you're not teaching them the conceptual dead end of classes.
