Re:Advanced Python Features by kayo_20211030 on Wednesday April 23, 2025 @10:28AM (#43772648)
A very good piece, that I enjoyed. But, I do get the impression that many of these more esoteric features, when reading a code-base, actually end up obscuring the developer's intention, and impair understanding. Without very competent IDE tooling, trying to work out what's happening in a piece of code is extremely difficult. It's turtles all the way down, and there's a lot more turtles now. A number of the new features, appreciated by many for good reason, tend to work against the Zen of Python which at some level explained the meteoric rise of Python as a bona fide implementation language over the last 30 years - simple, obvious, effective and practical.
