Inverse Sapir-Whorf and programming languages

Funny how if the inverse applies to programming languages the strong normal form kind of does too…

For example, in Python you can’t avoid talking about the Python object model, and that implies you also can’t actually express anything in Python outside the Python object model.

And, fundamentally, you can’t — even `object` is an `object` — unless you stop expressing yourself in Python.
