You’re the one who gave that example as motivation, and who specifically highlighted the “more than a page of code” thing; it’s not something everyone else invented and read into your example. If that example is a bad argument for your proposal, the burden of coming up with a good argument for your proposal is on you. (After all, the default for any proposal is to not change anything.) If there are “plenty use cases”, provide one that isn’t silly instead of one that is. While you’re at it, you might want to show some other languages. I think part of the reaction against it comes from the languages people are familiar with. Python, Swift, Ruby, and most other languages people tout as “readable” just have a generic end or } or dedent or whatever for all blocks. So does C and all of descendants. But PHP has endfor, and pl/SQL, and sh has for/do/done… and those aren’t languages people want to use. Maybe that’s an unfair prejudice—but if so, if you can point people to better examples, it might help overcome that. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/OB7SQA2ZMJBMSOVZEXPZHFLNVAFAVWDV/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
