Upcoming Python features brought to you by Python Enhancement Proposals

I do worry Python will head down the path of C++ and turn into a monstrosity.

Can't we ever exercise some discipline and keep things simple in software? More features isn't strictly better, there's a hidden cost that adds up over time.

I'd welcome mere perf / memory improvements, security patches, and ancient feature removals for the next 5 years or so.

Interestingly Go is very disciplined about not adding new features in general - and it gets a lot of criticism for that!

Adding loads of new syntax is easy. Now removing the GIL on the other hand...
