I posted a comment to clear this up. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm sorry about all the negativity. Python includes all these things, sure, and the code is not great, but it's a learning project. Can we treat it as such and not criticize it so much?

I'm not sure the responses are expressing negativity as much as they are expressing confusion. This was a learning project, sure, but it was also posted to Hacker News (and without that caveat).

+1 This is all standard python, I don't get it

> Is this a parody?

At least it's not php.js
