- monkpit 2mo ago> ET_ADD trusted the compiler, and PEP 749 quietly handed user code a way to break that trust Sigh, and I quietly closed the article as it was quietly written by AI. That’s not just lazy — that’s uninteresting. And it’s more uninteresting than you think.
- shakna 2mo agoHasn't Python always guaranteed messing with __annotations__ directly, as unsafe? This isn't some bug. It's documented behaviour.
- Doxin 2mo agoPython doesn't try especially hard to stop you from doing stupid things in general. It's kind of core to the language that it doesn't. Hence no access modifiers. I think it's usually phrased as "we're all consenting adults".
