python has a lot of features. But people use a small subset of it. So instead of supporting all of python, why not stick to the small subset that people actually want to use to solve a problem?
- ptx 5y agoDifferent Python programs use different subsets, so as you work towards supporting more programs the union of the subsets becomes essentially the full set, I would assume.
- adsharma 5y agoThe distribution of popularity of the features is not uniform. My intention is to carefully look at the intersection of relatively less used features and features that make python slow/inefficient and exclude them from the supported subset.
