Okay, but if Python already has all of these things that are considered not relevant to beginners, why assume that these new language features are things beginners will have to deal with, instead of being like the language features they don't?
- hiq 6y agoThe feature in question matters. I don't see how you would fit async / the GIL in a beginner course. But if pattern matching is seen as idiomatic for basic code, then it should and will be introduced to beginners. For instance the switch / case construct is on https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/java/ https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/java/ (interestingly not on https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/c++/ https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/c++/ !), implying that it's quite basic there.
