Python has become a very complex language [0], and the complexity continues to increase. IMO it's too much for people who only write code for, say, a few hours a week.

I hope Python isn't becoming a "choose your own subset" language like C++.

- rglullis 6y agoThe tweet shows a clear list of features (aside from the walrus operator) that are "complex" because they deal with inherit complexity. People who write code only for a few hours a week don't need to deal with asyncio or parallel programming, typing, cython, etc, etc. The point about different frameworks and ecossytem is a strawman. Yes, it's large. No, it doesn't mean that is complex. No, you don't need to know all of it. > I hope Python isn't becoming a "choose your own subset" language like C++ You are implying that are what is being added to the language have overlapping functionality. You really need a better argument than a FUD-y tweet to justify your concerns.
- Qem 6y agoWhat current languages do you think are friendly to hobbysts, with low complexity overhead, like Python before the enterprise-scale refocusing?
