Sure. (If you choose to reply to this email please do that off-list.) IMHO your email lacks substance, uses rather strong words like "disgust" and "disbelief", and ends with "I don't think that's a good look for Python :P" phrase that doesn't help you to make any point. You re-surfaced a pretty old email thread where a number of core developers explained their position and listed quite a few arguments for having positional-only arguments. You, on the other hand, didn't add a lot to the discussion except your own opinion with no serious arguments to support it. Please don't feel discouraged from posting to python-ideas though, just try to keep a higher signal-to-noise ratio. ;) Yury _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
