Organisation is always a compromise. Rather than seek the perfect structure, it’s better I think to address what makes structure get in the way of doing the right thing. Better structure may follow, but it’s a constant fight. Different chal

A language antipattern maybe, a programming antipattern, no. Python isn’t ML – it got pattern matching only very recently. Without it, and in a language where type tests are often a bad smell, exceptions are perfectly reasonable.

That there’s apparently an unmet need or an unscratched itch might be newsworthy enough. If it’s a strategic move, them more so, surely?

Indeed. FWIW I meant ‘comprehension, rather than ‘generator’, but hey, both would work
