Yeah I read your top level comment complaining about a “power grab”. You’re welcome to get worked up over a non issue. I won’t spend any time convincing you otherwise.

This subject is a touchy one because it usually attracts a lot of people who are upset because they think they’ve lost something they had. A lot of those comments start with “I’m not a lawyer but …” Then all of these upset people writing an

GP is talking about how easy it is to find places where the type is instantiated. Seems to me that create_point() will have one such site. And then it’s trivial to find callsites of create_point() with the LSP/IDE. What’s the issue?

Going to take a wild guess that maybe they're going to rely on the excellent, extensive standard library of Python which C and Zig can't compete with. The second constraint was probably that they want to keep the number of lines o

Nice to see that you can make a glib, worthless, condescending comment that added nothing to the conversation. At least start your sentences with a capital letter, they might at least have the veneer of being worthwhile to read.
