ROFL (literally if you count spinning around in my chair laughing...)
From Tim Lesher, Choose Python has a fantastic quote:
... Choose an almost-fanatical devotion to the BDFL, unless he comes up with something like optional static typing, in which case choose to whine about it in your blog until he stops. ...
