Greetings list, > I disagree that "it teaches a lot about how Python works" is a good reason to keep things the way they are. If you applied this principle more broadly, it would seem to be an argument in favour of complexity in most situations, that would imply we should keep syntactic sugar to a bare minimum at all times.
Well, when giving superpowers like the decorator pattern, this is a case for it. My case is not against syntactic sugar. My main problem is: "The simplification idea is to coerce Python to use patterns forged elsewhere." Like does Python need to provide official support for a main function? It's best put into Steven's words: > I don't think it is a good idea to give programmers coming from other languages the false impression that Python behaves the same as the language they are familiar with, when it doesn't. The entrypoint to Python scripts is not main(), it is the top of the module. eidt: forgot to reply all Kind Regards, Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer about <https://compileralchemy.github.io/> | blog <https://www.pythonkitchen.com> github <https://github.com/Abdur-RahmaanJ> Mauritius
