I don't think that this is a good example, this hacker type/python style code is not good for anyone, is hard to understand, maintain, extend, catch errors and so on. The first snippet can be understood by most engineers that worked in any C like language, the 2nd ...probably under 10%.

I'm more interested when Kotlin will be able to build iOS apps, then it will be on my radar (shooting 2 platforms with 1 language).

hacker type/python

Excuse me are you saying that all Python Programmers are hackers that write bad code that is hard to understand, maintain, extend, catch errors etc?
