In the same sentence you agree with the implied beauty of the syntax of Python and then go on sarcastically about the performance of CPython. Assumably you deliberately mixed language and implementation because you needed a soapbox, so hey, here's my comment to which you can reply and continue your rhetoric.



It's a joke. But you got it all wrong, it's not praise + sarcasm, it's double sarcasm.


You say all wrong and then go on about explaining I'm half wrong. I feel there's a pattern (or maybe another joke that whooshed over my head) here but it is obvious to me that I am not your intended stand-up comedy audience and I should ask for my money back. :)
