Han Solo said it best "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Lets keep it explicit alright? It's better then implicit.
Edit: read the article, it neither makes python cryptic or culty. The Jedi thing is just a cool SW reference. That said list comprehensions are a little cryptic to me since I haven't written python in awhile. Personally I think an important attribute of elegance in programming is how little you need to read the docs to understand something, and the more one-liners we do the more times we are likely to have to look at the documentation before reading it (not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes a time sink and sometimes people won't look up the docs when they should!).
