Comment on Bruce Eckel announces he's going to write Atomic Pythonparent

Of course there are blunders in Python. It's an old language by now. But a great deal of what makes Python really easy to use is that a lot of thought has gone in to getting many of the essential details right.

For instance, take comparison operators - by having < and == work across all the built-in types (including sequences), it's really easy to compare and sort stuff. Which is essential to writing terse and efficient algorithms.
