Ah yes! The experimental toy languages without specification like Python.
- fao_ 6y agoI'm sorry, what are PEPs, again?
- rowanG077 6y agoPEPs are specification fragments. But it's far from a complete python language specification.
- kiwidrew 6y agoCPython is the only viable Python interpreter, and the Python language specification is "whatever CPython does". In my humble opinion this disqualifies Python from consideration as a language. That doesn't mean Python isn't useful! It is in fact a wildly successful tool that has spawned a large ecosystem of packages and a diverse group of users. But it unfortunately does not qualify as a true language, for it lacks the necessary ingredients: a formal specification of the language and more than one implementation of said specification.
