I don't understand any of the ideas alluded to therein, but the tone of the discourse in there and the thread that led to this (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/python-tulip/EgpBV5-sIQ4/hcTQwMmKFOUJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/python-tulip/EgpBV5-sI...) is very respectful, and people apologize if their tone was too snarky or contemptuous.
I like this a lot about python, and it makes me excited and eager to perhaps contribute a little to its development some day (I'm currently at the level where I have a decent idea about the OOP aspects of python, and know some tricks that I think are nifty, such as overloading __setattr__ and the like. So quite a long way to go, but hopefully I will get there some day).
- takluyver 13y agoYou probably don't have as far to go as you think - the standard library is largely written in straightforward Python. The limiting factor is more finding a bug that no-one else is already fixing.
