Driving an EV without charging stations is (nearly) useless. You can still run Python 2-3 code with a Python 2 interpreter with no significant consequence.

No one is arguing that upgrading would be trivial; the argument is that it's necessary work that could have been started 10 years ago. Also, if you run your unit tests on Python 2 and 3, you'll get pretty good pretty fast at writi

How is it less powerful, for those of us who know little about either?

Only one of those problems is CPU. The others are type system and IO issues, and they happen in IO bound services too.

The type system is more expressive, but much clunkier and also it needs to be expressive to accommodate all of the weird things people do in Python (and you still can’t model SQLAlchemy types).

Goroutines are quite a lot nicer than async for a few reasons. Firstly, there are no “forgot to await” errors, secondly there is no need to worry about some library making a sync call way down the call stack and therefore blocking your even

My question was about squaring the "legalize-weed" position with the "ban-GMOs" position. You only addressed the first part of my question as far as I can tell.

I guess I didn't qualify for financial aid then. I had a small scholarship, but I otherwise worked hard and lived frugally and earned my first degree with only $7K in debt. My peers came out with $40-90K in debt, but they often didn&#x

Enforcing laws dissuades others from violating those laws. We can debate how effective law enforcement is, but that's the premise.

It's been a while, but I tried implementing a trait that took `&self` with several different types. One such type was an integer type, so I had to pass by reference. It's probably not a big deal, but there are many things like

It's kind of on the whole dynamically typed model. If you can have static type annotations that are validated for correctness, then you can use those annotations to validate or generate your documentation. Python supports annotations a

I've mostly only dabbled in Rust, but I recall it being really difficult to pass data by copy in Rust. It seemed to want you to pass things by reference, especially if your type is meant to implement any prominent trait. It didn't
