Did you notice that Peter Norvig's factorial-operator attempts to
replace one of the very first diamond-grade provisions of [the] FLUFL?
Disgraceful behavior! So disrespectful!
Send him to the Spanish Inquisition...
Saying that, he (Peter) lost the opportunity to promote our new
dev.movement. As he pointed-out, tests are likely to give one a false
sense of security with regard to the correctness of code.
Accordingly, join us in the noTDD philosophy. Like NoSQL is schema-less,
noTDD is scheme-less (we have NO idea what we're doing).
Don't be led-astray by tests. We're all [adult-]optimists here...

Just wanted to throw this out there... I lament the loss of waking up on
April 1st to see a creative April Fool's Day joke on one or both of these
lists, often from our FLUFL... Maybe such frivolity still happens, just not in
the Python ecosystem? I know you can still import "this" or
"antigravity", but those are now old (both introduced before 2010). When
was the last time a clever easter egg was introduced or an April Fool's Day
joke played?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
