3.10 like the version that is not released yet?
Tuples an frozendicts, so precisely non default list and dicts?
- mypalmike 6y agoThe tools are there but you don't like their names.
- c-cube 6y agoNeither tuples nor frozen dicts offer efficient (logarithmic or constant time) updates, like lists or balanced trees or HAMT do. You can't really write a program with only immutable structures in python, unless you accept it will be unbearably slow, even for python. Clojure, erlang, elixir, these are dynamically typed and functional.
