You do with type annotations. But type declaration may not be in the view port. Or you may read a script or snippet, which is a type or code that won't bother with typing.

It is very different than Python. In Lisp, they say "here is a tool that can do anything. Have fun". In Python they say: "here are many tools that are specific and limited to that purpose. Also you gona take bad decisions, so

I love dogs. My familly owned 4 of them, small ones, bigs ones, smart ones, dumb ones. All so cute. Yet, they have no place in an office. They actually have no place in a city. Animals need space. They need to be able to be dirty, make a me

Actually, a lot of Python users don't even know sets exist. Or they forgot, and use them randomly after they google "remove duplicates". Even among the sets users, a lot of them don't even know you can use ^, | and ~ wit

Latest discovery on my part, after the burnout, a heavy magnesium supplement helps a lot. Especially with the foggy brain, and the physical contact with others.

Besides, anytime somebody compare Python to Haskell, the battle is over. They have completly different use cases and philosophy. If you want something in Haskell, you probably want the opposite in Python.

Practically, what your wish would accomplish ? Will it make most people more productive ? Produce less bug ? Learn faster ? Most Python coders don't even use sets more than once a year. Hell, I use collections.deque more than sets. But

And a = 1 is not equality. Welcome to the world of programming, where we don't all try to match mathematical conventions because many of us suck at maths and are practical.

All my students disagree with you. They all try addition, and all expect a resulting dict with keys from both dicts. The fact the keys from the one side are prioritized is something they will learn once, just like with dict.update().

Teacher here. All my students eventually try {} + {}. I'll bet on it to be the most intuitive.

It does produce a new list/dict, etc. That's what you want to avoid side effects in many cases. Modifying is actually an exception. Handy to have, but not common. Even numpy arrays recreate everything every time.

No but Guido said yes https://bugs.python.org/issue36144#msg336848 and even if he is not BDFL anymore, it usually means it will be done.

It was also a huge source of bugs. I often give an exercice prompting a number with input(), then checking it to another number in the Python for beginers course. Most students don't call int() before comparing. In Python 3, they get a

It's consistent with [] + () not working, but [* * , * * ()] works.

One of the long awaited features, rejected by Guido many times, and finally accepted. Maybe we'll get list.get(), functools.partial() as a c written builtin, pathlib.Path() as a primitive or inline try/except, one day.

And of course it's limited to english, so far from "the internet". And indeed, Trump has been elected for getting the majority of votes, yet it represents it as a sad day, while I'm pretty sure most voters were happy.

I loved the book, but I know so many functional adults living their entire life underslept, that I think it must miss compensating mechanisms.

Most touristic places suffer from this. If you go to Nice after june, the streets are a terrible place to be. If you go to the Mont Saint michel in the summer, same. Venice in Italia is like that during the whole year. Living in those place

I've read the same comments since 2004. It doesn't help to solve the problem at all. At best, sometimes, it encourages you to spend a lot of time trying to find a solution that may work, or wreck your system (Exact result depends
