So people, did, do, and will add braces syntax to Python. Which leads us back to the question - did anyone of those who did that over decades ever bothered to post some kind of "spec" for this alternative syntax? For example, Scheme has alternative syntax encoded as officially incorporated "RFC document" (similar to Python's PEP): https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-119/srfi-119.html (actually, as quick glance there shows, there was an evolution of alternative syntaxes). -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ 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/JHU54SDXWVAEWYRENN2PMD3OJ4DZKVNZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
