I notice you used the strong emotional word "ruining" when talking about the effect on Python of this change.
Why do you believe an obscure runtime concurrency detail which will make more things possible will "ruin" the language?
Now match and :=? Those definitely ruin the language. ;-)
But seriously, relax, nothing bad is happening here. It's not just people who have to use the torch launcher who have been bitten by Python's currently-terrible multicore story. I've been a Python programmer for 15 years and I think this is a wonderful change.
- School-Cotton 3y ago> Why do you believe an obscure runtime concurrency detail It is not obscure. It will make it much more difficult to write native-code extensions which is IMO the whole point of Python.
- tsimionescu 3y agoThe point of Python in your opinion is to write non-Python code?
- School-Cotton 3y agoYes, like bash, Python is a language that exists mainly as glue for code written in other languages. Do you think we need to add multithreading to bash?
