The only reason I can imagine being opposed to it is fear that hordes of bad programmers will descend on the language and litter the ecosystem with unreadable golfed garbage.

I obviously don't want that. I don't think anybody wants that. But I also don't think that's going to happen as a result of the recent changes in the language. If anything, I feel like the average code quality in the wild has gone up.



Python being the start language for newbies these days, you already have the hordes of bad programmers. Everyone is bad when they start out, after all.
