When is "fully linted" not idiomatic

When the user

1. Knows their code is not idiomatic.
2. Knows that their non-idiomatic, rejected style is nevertheless not picked up by an automatic linter.

You carefully ignore that RC is for idiomatic code and fill RC with code written in a style rejected by the Python community. You leave comments on typing, that are not Python. You remove templates pointing out that your code should be improved. You employ libraries and a methodology Python programmers are not taught - It's Python not Haskell.

You cry bully when you don't get your way. (Yet again).

RC shouldn't be turned into a showcase for your many un-idiomatic code samples. Yes we know Python can be written like that, but the community rejected it.

You don't have the standing to make those judgements. The only interesting comments about compliance with standards are made by the widely-used linters. Linters are frequently somewhat unflattering about your own imperative code, but I make no comment.

The only interesting and instructive Rosetta comment is an alternative draft. If you prefer a different style of functional Python, just contribute a better draft – we will all learn and benefit, and I, for one, look forward to that.

The goal of Rosetta code is to provide contrastive insight. Parading poorly-linted but allegedly regimental uniform on frequently unreliable and weakly-conceived code, while shrilly declaring yourself to be a higher authority than the tooling – well, if that provides contrastive insight, then I'm not sure that it is insight into computational issues.
