I feel like Gvr just doesnt want to change things, Feels doomed
This has been a problem for like 20 years and they have refused fixes before. And there have been fixes. They just don't see this as important
it's practically a religion that its a thing they wont change
- heavyset_go 5y agoI disagree entirely. The last few releases of Python have made significant changes to the language, coinciding with the project becoming community-led after Guido stepped down.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> The last few releases of Python have made significant changes to the language, coinciding with the project becoming community-led after Guido stepped down. A lot of that is stuff that is enabled by, or was blocked pending, the new parser; I don't think it was blocked on Guido, and Guido haa hardly stopped being active and influential since stepping down as BDfL
- heavyset_go 5y agoYeah, I didn't mean to imply that Guido was holding anything back, just that he's no longer at the helm like the OP implied.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoYes, stepped down as a result of him forcing the walrus operator change into the language over significant opposition.
- randlet 5y agoGuido is no longer the BDF and spoke fairly positively about this change in the mailing list thread[1]. "To be clear, Sam’s basic approach is a bit slower for single-threaded code, and he admits that. But to sweeten the pot he has also applied a bunch of unrelated speedups that make it faster in general, so that overall it’s always a win. But presumably we could upstream the latter easily, separately from the GIL-freeing part."
