'''A (repeated) suggestion''': If your ideas have merit then you should be able to convince the Python community of its merit.

Your style seems singular. Members of the Python community do change the language. What is Pythonic does evolve, but standing on the sidelines shouting "Don't you see"!! might not be the best way to create a change toward your style. [[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]])

::: Unlike you, I have no interest whatsoever in converting anybody's else style of programming, and I ask you to respect mine.. Functional programming is already, and inevitably, a well-established and documented use of the Python language, even if it in some tension with the 'Pythonic' dialect, which is only a subset of the language, and one which is better optimised for some contexts and uses than for others.

:: You appear to be interested in changing my style in a way that you consider an improvement, and your addition of compiler type-hints was interesting, but also involved deleting important and useful semantic information, in a format with which many users of functional Python are familiar and actively use (see, for example the presentation on monadic parsing in Python).

:: Enough now, I respect your beliefs about Python, and I quite understand that they will inform the code which you contribute.

:: You must however understand, that my use of Python is different, and that it is inappropriate for you to continue to interfere with it in this manner. I believe that my consistent use of PEP8 linters more than meets the requirements of Rosetta Code, and I know that others feel the same.

Harass. Defined as "Subject to aggressive pressure or intimidation". I am not being aggressive. I disagree with you - it happens. Intimidation: I don't slap an improve tag on your entry without stating why. Pressure: I am trying to improve your Python; we unfortunately disagree.

:: Paddy or Donald, is not up to you, or indeed a dictionary, to determine whether or not I feel harassed by your behaviour. I do. Enough now. Please be kind enough to desist. We can agree to differ, and the Python language is large and expressive enough for us both to offer alternative solutions within the rich resources of its syntax and library, and differing traditions, with the the help of linter. Thanks. It has been stimulating, but that it more than enough now. Please stop. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 17:10, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

: If you don't like my functional Python word-break parsing code, for example, just create a 'Pythonic' sub-header, and contribute a 'version which feels more 'pythonic' to you. No need at all to berate me. A different approach and better version is a much more interesting and constructive mode of criticism.
