I take this as a positive sign of Python's maturity.
- smitty1e 7y ago. . .and the threat of Just Another Vict'ry Announcement (JAVA) as the need to add "sizzle" to the next version looms.
- chooseaname 7y agoRock and a hard place, no? Either you keep adding to a language and people keep using it, or you stop adding to a language and people call it a dead language and stop using it. Most devs don't understand that software can be done and still be useful.
- eru 7y agoWell, you could also try to remove from the language. Like how they removed the `print` keyword when going from Python 2 to Python 3. But removing is harder than adding.
- chooseaname 7y agoRight. Maybe I should have said, "... keep changing a language..."
- egdod 7y agoMature languages don’t introduce random new ugly syntax. I miss Guido already.
- seunosewa 7y agoActually, Guido approved the walrus operator. (In response to the justified backlash, instead of canceling the feature, he resigned as BDFL, which is not what anyone wanted)
- egdod 7y agoI stand corrected.
- coldtea 7y agoGuido fought to have the "random new ugly syntax" (which is anything bad) included.
