Please don't accuse others of gaslighting because you don't like the advice they give. Gaslighting is an expecially serious, malicious form of pyschological abuse. It doesn't mean "I disagree with your opinion", or "you're factually wrong", or even "you're lying". As for being "actively harmful", I think that the advice not to share mutable data between threads isn't harmful at all, but pretty close to essential. If you want to avoid deadlocks, livelocks and race conditions, you should avoid mutable data as much as possible. -- Steven _______________________________________________ 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/I43TEDSGSL7Z4ASOFBZB2KFZ7JLJDHNL/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
