I'm just curious about whether starting programmers have a strong preference for one or the other convention or whether both are confusing.
Starting programmers don't have enough experience to judge which will be less confusing in the long run, so their opinion shouldn't be given overriding weight when designing a language intended for real-life use.
Speaking as an experienced programmer, I'm convinced that Python has made the right choice. Not because Dijkstra or any other authority says so, but because of my own personal experiences.
