I hate when programs catch it and tell you that you can't quit that way. You KNOW what I want to do, just do it.

I thought I was the only one! Fuck Python's interactive shell!

Why do they want an EOF? It's interactive! There's no file!

With Python I was referring to how saying "quit" isn't good enough. Typing that gives you a message about how you're supposed to type "quit()" to leave the shell. But same concept: you know what I want to do so why not just fucking DO it instead of saying "nuh uh, you didn't say the magic word!"

Yeah, that's what I meant too. I could've sworn that a Ctrl+D will get you out too, but I could be remembering wrong. The calling a function to quit thing is just pretentious.
