Strikes me as more of an argument about why Python doesn't need an Underscore library, given its expressive syntax.

It doesn't need direct port. But it can take advantage borrowing ideas or library design principles.

I won't belabor the point, but I think these concepts in Python (and Ruby) influenced the design of Underscore, not vice versa.

Or that they all took influence from a bunch of languages from the 70s like Lisps and MLs
