Dusting off some of my musings written years ago but at least tangentially related to all this: https://www.tundraware.com/TechnicalNotes/How-To-Pick-A-Programming-Language/ https://www.tundraware.com/TechnicalNotes/Bullet/ I am not particularly enamored of the feeping creaturism that that infested Python 3, but then again, I'm not required by law to use said feeping creatures... I wish GvR well. He's served this community magnificently and deserves far better than he got, especially lately. := pedantry aside (and I am NOT a fan), great things come from individual minds, not committees and I think it is simply inarguable that GvR built a Very Great Thing. So ... thanks ... and go enjoy your life, sir, you've more than earned it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
