This is a simple example that does seem more readable (though it also would be if you explicitly added the value=value), but I think the concerns people have are about more complex examples, and the fact that readability is also impacted if

It takes thinking to learn to use editors like this. Actually using them requires little to no thought after an acclimatisation period. This is one of the points of the article.

You shouldn't in principle need to worry about the difference between the sdl2 and pygame/sdl backends on Android, since kivy's own API is the same in either case. You don't need to install pil either (kivy preferentiall

This looks really cool, thanks for sharing it. I've seen this kind of idea talked about many times, but never any implementation, and even if at an early stage there's clearly a lot of effort in your basic structure and api (edit:

An important fact about the luminiferous aether is that it was abandoned as an idea because it was inconsistent with experiments. In contrast, dark matter has continued as an idea and become a popular explanation because new experiments hav

It's not remotely clear, because although this concept explains the result it does not uniquely explain it, and it does not make predictions that allow it to be distinguished from many of the other potential explanations.
