"Objects of different types except numbers are ordered by their type names" -- gah. Not something I miss in Python 3.

I'm extremely impressed by HippyVM's performance numbers: 2x faster than Facebook's HHVM! http://t.co/ct8RjkMnLd
Writing a stdlib is hard. Lots of old-fashioned computer science plus an interpreter which is still buggy!
Hit a nasty error with Python's mock refusing to compare with long iterables: https://code.google.com/p/mock/issues/detail?id=232&thanks=232&ts=1400930671
A Haskell project that compiles Python to x86 machine code via Common Lisp: https://github.com/haroldl/clip . That's either hilarious or brilliant.
The Mesa project was started in 1993 by Brian Paul, and he's still developing it! Really impressive!
MELPA stable is looking fantastic. As of Emacs 24.4, you will be able to say which packages you want to be stable: http://t.co/iFdXD9pnf6
... even if your language is safe, fast and a joy to express ideas in.
The experience resulting from the toolset around a language is so important. If your compiler always takes one hour, I'm not interested.
It is ridiculous how hard it is to find out anything online about people standing to be voted for: http://t.co/fp6DI4NCLu
Debugging regular expressions with precedence issues is a royal pain. The pattern "[a-z]+ '(Foo)|(Bar)'" matches "Bar'". Argh.
Wow, I had no idea so much OCaml work was going on at the university of Cambridge: http://t.co/vll4eSet34
I like to have macros and metaclasses in a language. I prefer it when I don't have to use them.
"Previously [comparing Unicode with a non-ASCII string] would raise a UnicodeDecodeError exception." Python 2.5 became more weakly typed!
@andreassavvides Recently discovered the ES bulk API http://t.co/nKWSzLcQ5i batching could potentially could speed up brewing and rebrewing!
It is usually impossible to use reductio ad absurdum if someone has already taken their idea to its logical conclusion.
It depresses me when a dev gets nervous about changing code in a project they're involved in. If they're not I'm control, no-one is!
Compiled logstash-forwarder (a Go program) in 2.8 seconds. Impressive!
Logstash with Kibana (after the initial learning hassle) is excellent for numerical data. It's a replacement for Graphite in some cases.
