Since I never claimed he did, I struggle to provide offhand examples.
See: every discussion about lambdas discredited every day by the existence of a robust self-taught javascript community.
- eesmith 8y agoAre you being deliberately obtuse? You said Python developers as a whole were insular and as a whole it "prides itself on ignoring things". I listed three different things which Python obviously got by looking to other languages. This is neither insular nor ignorant. How do you reconcile your statement with my observation? You replied with "The very same things the senior community and GVR pan are in fact their bread and butter." I presumed this had something to do with the three items I listed, since that's how conversations are supposed to work. Van Rossum has been pushing for async programming since at least Tulip, so it was certainly part of his 'bread&butter'. Thus, async/await are in category of things you claimed that he panned. Now you say you didn't claim that? Are you really just so pissed off that van Rossum doesn't like lambda that you want to besmirch the entire Python development community?
