All I can see is that changes get proposed on typing-sig and actually make it into the language, but changes that get proposed on python-ideas are invariably shot down in flames,
Typing is an area of Python that is under active development, so it is somewhat malleable, and there are still real problems that actually need to be solved. On the other hand, the core syntax of Python has been well established for a long time. Most of the proposals for adding to it nowadays tend to be of the "wouldn't it nice if..." variety that are not addressing anything that's widely seen as a problem. It's not surprising that such suggestions rarely succeed.
no matter how good or bad.
If an idea can be shot down in flames that easily, it wasn't really such a good idea when seen in the wider context. It's not just the merits of the idea itself that need to be considered, but whether it brings enough benefit to be worth the disruption of introducing it. As Python matures and solidifies, that bar becomes harder and harder to clear. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/TBFFQ2UCFSDTFBDARK67AU4YTOHXKALQ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
