<p>I don&#39;t like to be negative about programming language stuff, but if your Python idea is, &quot;there&#39;s already a way to do this, but here&#39;s an idea for new syntax to do it with less typing&quot; then not only is it not a good idea, it&#39;s a bad idea.</p><p>That&#39;s how Python becomes Perl.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> you’d think a “principal engineer at Microsoft” would be better at cross-org diplomacy…</p>
