Comment on What Python Fixesparent

Comments

Occasionally, you will have an outlier who has vast holes in their understanding of programming and writes large amounts of jaw-dropping bad code and can do this even in simple elegant languages.

One interesting quirk of Python is that such code superficially resembles good code in everything except the length of functions and methods.

Perhaps not always a good thing. Kent Beck's preferred Smalltalk indentation style made good Smalltalk look good, and bad Smalltalk look really bad. That's actually useful.

Could you please elaborate?
