Depends on whether you have any experienced C++ folks on the team who can mentor, review, and hack out the tricky bits.

How large are you talking about? Most of the time, your best option is to plot a representative sample. Datashader can handle some pretty big sets. https://datashader.org/

I like tools like flake8-docstrings and setting the expectation that documentation should be reviewed during the code review process.

Not really. Leicester in particular winning was an extreme event, but any small club winning in any league, much less extreme. Remember Chapicoense?

My preference would be that the syntax requires spaces in that case. Oh well, I've always got the option of writing my own programming language.

The leadership was that the science community would benefit from a science-specific tool, like Conda, and that making one ring to rule them all would be too difficult. Also, yes, Guido and many other early contributers have been been active

As I understand it, that was to prevent bad behavior rather than to signal approval.

Too many things to answer here. The easiest is to point to the popularity of the language. He's made decisions I disagree with, but I can't argue with success.

On the whole, Guido's career as a BDFL was astoundingly effective. Maybe he made the right call. It'd have been a terrible idea to alienate the science community just when data science was taking off as a field.

The Python community has considered an "official" packaging tool in the past, but in those conversations found that the community had too many preferences to find a good compromise. That's the trouble with having a highly di

That's my point. I don't see how this would materially improve my experience. I've picked my trusted intermediaries and I shop through them.

That'd require them to hold your Bitcoin for you, so they could just move some from one person to another. Isn't that counter to the Bitcoin philosophy?

How do they get paid? I didn't see that in the FAQ. Presumably they take a cut from the seller? If so, I'd imagine it might be frustrating to negotiate which 3rd party you pick for what fee for each transaction.
