Isn't there a Python based dialect for that already ? I think it was named cirrus but I can't find any link to it. Anyway, it seems to be it would be better to make a lib for this than a whole language.

And yet Ruby never took off outside of RoR and is dying. Lisp and Haskell are still niche languages. So somehow, languages promoting big chunks of anonymous code never win never win the public heart. In fact, when you are force by an accide

People have not caught up with 3.5+ yet. I see plenty of code not using f-strings, chainmaps, pools and the likes. We can't expect them to known about dataclasses yet.

There is no such things as the js doc. Only a huge number of 3rd party websites such as w3school, mdn, so, etc. Also python has readthedoc for non stdlib doc, for js it's very heterogenuous. All in all, I think the doc situation could

15 years of Python here, started in 2.4. Day to day Python is not more complicated to use. It's actually easier due to many bugs fixes, quality of life features and better error messages. However, Python does provide more tools to do m

It was inevitable. We kept telling people to not give away their data like that, that centralizing that much power in the GAFAS is dangerous, that somebody will abuse it. Few people listened, even fewer without labelling us as paranoid. Alm

I get what you mean, but dynamic typing is a feature, just like static typing is. Some languages are better from a static POV, and offer some auto features. Some languages are better from a dynamic POV and offer some hinting feature. You do

I read that as "the problem with semver is it's not perfect". Well yeah. But no semver is worse: upgrading is hard enough when devs communicate on what breaks, but when they don't, it's just a nightmare. Semver get
