Hello If I get a before-and-after pair in time, I'll use it. Regarding the 'tone of criticism', I made a comparison based on what I hoped were reasonable criteria. If you think there's a big plus (for LaTeX) or minus (for Python) please do let me know. Again, I'm willing to make changes (or even add a rebuttal) to the presentation.

One day I'll try and take a look to improve things. * * * It's probably not on purpose, but I'm afraid you couldn't misrepresent the expl3 code more if you tried in your example. I would appreciate it if you could remove that code snippet until we have a chance to discuss a better alternative.
