Wow. These are two things that would keep me away from *any* language.
I gave Python a shot, but the forced formatting (among other things) turned
me off.

I didn't get far enough to find if there really was only one way to do
things.

Still, that would make debugging easier: Just maintain a database of all
code done the Right Way, and if your code doesn't match The One Way To Do
It, then it's wrong.
