Besides providing a place that encourages discussion of ideas from out of the blue that just might be evolutionary steps forward, it also provides a place where language design principles can be discussed and illustrated in the context of concrete proposals, and an archive of those discussions. I realize that it's a significant amount of effort to find the discussions where principles are enunciated and elaborated, and don't have a good solution to propose to those who prefer not to spend the effort. But the resource is there. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
