I don't think I've ever seen a webpage that claims to be owned by someone other than the real owner, aside from typosquat phishing sites.

I saw your webpage on programming language choice, but I couldn't figure out how to use the comment box. So here's my comment. Rust seems like a good candidate. The runebender/druid/xi project has an active chatroom [1]

The "who we are" link on that page answers your questions.

If your server is vulnerable to some threat, adding another barrier in front of it could help.

I don't want to get into that kind of argument, but if you've been in python for a while you can probably think of people.

I'm very curious why is this downvoted?

`if` blocks don't make a scope. Comprehensions do.

He had Ivy-league degrees in physics and economics and two billion dollars. More importantly, he wasn't the whole leadership team: the CTO was a rocket engineer and the COO had other experience.

I can think of some.

That "leadership team" doesn't seem qualified to be working in this area.

The only one I didn't know was text_signature.

That seems extremely unlikely in practice.

No. Assignment leaking into enclosing scope is a bad idea.

> too large to fit in one head is it? I don't think the core language is that big. The libraries are big of course.

- Languages should only make special syntax for very common or very important needs. Neither applies here. - It violates the longstanding Python rule that assignments don't escape the enclosing scope.

IANAL but I don't think that's what a typical corporate charter actually requires. It's just an opinion some people have about what companies should do.

Python has some non-expression statements and you wouldn't be able to use them in match expressions.

You can also trust individual people and institutions if you follow them for a while and know how they do things.

Tbh I think a consensus of expert Pythonistas would agree with me. Walrus only got through because of the "dictatorship".

by neolog 6y ago
The walrus operator was definitely a mistake. But type annotations, pattern matching, attrs/dataclasses, and f-strings are significant improvements.

How's Pharo in practice? It seems really cool in demos.
