- parenthesis 18y agoI think GvR's special expertise is more in the 'user-interface' of programming languages than in their implementation. The whole point of Python, really, is to put the former before the latter; which is exemplified in GvR's 'readable-stack-traces before fancy-features-in-the-implementation' reasoning on the present point.

You will get much better results regardless of what you’re trying to do if you think of it as a user-interface design.
