Yes, web is a niche . Outside of web there is simply no possibility of turning untrusted input into executable code so sanitation isn't needed. In web development you already have two dozen templating libraries that offer much more co

Superficially f-strings reminds you of php and everyone remembers how awful that was. But Python's implementation is leagues better and we also have better tooling (ie smart parsers) for handling fstrings.

Yes. And it also relies on pre-compilation, which t-strings do not support.

Yes, of course. Any function with syntactic support will be more "ergonomic" than one without. But t-strings are for a relatively niche use case and can't even fully replace f-strings since they aren't actually strings

That's why I specified the context argument. Something like Template("{name} {address}", dict(name = ..., address = ...)) would be exactly equivalent to t"{name} {address}" assuming those variables are fetched from

Does Python really need yet another type of string literal? I feel like while templating is a good addition to the standard library, it's not something that needs syntactic support. t"blah blah" is just an alias for Template(

No, neither Smalltalk nor any of the Lisp environments that purport to support hot code reloading have the same facilities the Erlang VM has.

This is an all-time classic, but, sadly, most HN commenters just don't "get it". Perhaps because they have no experience with the Erlang VM so they don't understand Joe's premises The Erlang VM is best described as

Well, you don't make up straw men that makes you inferior. Paul never met Jesus, James did and also was the leader of the (clearly) very important Jerusalem church. Paul knew and admitted that he lacked authority, hence he had to sel

The most compelling evidence for the historicity of Jesus does not come from the gospels, but from Paul's letters. He claims to have met with Peter and James which he calls Jesus' brother and the leader of the Jerusalem congregati

Unless you're dealing with packed data (i.e., long arrays), there is no point in having scalars be less than 32 bits wide on modern architectures. This is due to architectures being optimized for 32 or 64 bit wide registers and even wi

No, people are terrible at detecting patterns. It took medicine a few thousand years before Semmelweis came along and detected a correlation between hand-washing and childbed fever. But also there is no pattern to detect, eating pork just i

Zero evidence for that theory. People didn't know parasites existed so that couldn't have been the reason for abstaining from pork. But if that had been their reason they would also have abstained from chicken because it is even m

I only use about 50 mb of my boot partition with refind as my boot manager. Come to think of it, why on earth do we still need boot partitions? Why can't Windows, Linux, iOS, etc coexist in the same file system?

Sin is orthogonal to sacrifice. Pagans had sacrifice, but not sin. Jews had sacrifice and sin. Christians had sin but not sacrifice. That was the whole point of the religion, you did not have to "pay up" because God had alread
