Probably true. Without commenting on the particulars of the SDK in question (read: I haven't read TFA): Monadic code is obviously better than the mainstream alternatives. Does this point towards eventual inviability of Python itself?

As much as we all wish it wouldn't be so, TANSTAAFL. What is your suggestion and how does it maintain compatibility with the existing body of code?

PSA: Rudimentary completion in Zsh (enabled by a trivial walk through the wizard that runs in the absence of ~/.zshrc) completes man page names. man git<TAB> FTW!

If your MANPAGER is less, you can type ^R (CTRL+R) in the search prompt (/) to make it interpret the search string literally (disable regular expressions). As noted in less(1).

Agnostic - I don't know if there's a God. Atheist - I don't think there's a God. Is that wrong?

(Based on what I've read, it makes sense to me that) we're not. A coin toss outcome seems random only because / as long as some of the initial conditions are unknown.
