Re:Pattern matching accepted for Python by adamc on Tuesday February 09, 2021 @05:46PM (#26083514)
I don't really agree. I helped steer my organization to Python more than a decade ago -- its mix of capability and readability made it a great fit, and it remains so. Nothing I saw in this made me worried that people would struggle to read it. F-strings are great, a huge improvement on needing to say .format() all the time, and format was an improvement on the original use of % (more descriptive).

C++ is a wholly different beast. Template metaprogramming achieves great things, but at significant cost to readability.
