While I agree with the author's reasons why Python sucks ass, he's wrong about Commodore but thinks that he isn't:
"Where's Commodore today? It died out as users abandoned the platform."
No. Commodore died because Irving Gould told Tramiel to pack his bags and go when Tramiel told him it wasn't okay to use company's assets like the jet as personal property. Once Tramiel was fired, the company was plagued by chaos and mismanagement, but it had nothing to do with how bad or good Commodore's computers were. It's the 21st century and people still write fresh software and design modern hardware for Commodore computers, so they've never been abandoned.
