You would be surprised how much hate f-strings got when they were first proposed/implemented. :)

  That's something most people don't realize. The walrus got heat. F-string got heat. match/case got heat. Unicode in python 3 got 15 years of trolling. Every single time you make a proposal, you have to make a compromise between: - what the infrastructure and style of the language allows - the resources you have - the desire for staying compat - the desire for staying modern - the pressure of people wanting a new toy - the pressure of people hating any kinda change You cannot flip a switch and "make the language better".

    I have yet to ever need the walrus.

      I used it 3 times yesterday (usually for re.match). But I've been coding 15 years without it.
