Does this mean Ruby will make a comeback? Probably not, but I guess this is just another nail in the not-JavaScript coffin.

shit sucks, I liked FIOC and I'm worried that the lack of a BDFL will result in Rust-tier CoC-slinging bullshit.

Guide is senile anyway. What was

P.E.P. 572

?

I wonder how long it'll take for the usual termites to destroy Python after this; it has a CoC, so the tools for the Reddit consensussexuals are already there. Should save them some time.

Assignment expressions, for code like

if (match := matchThisRegex(r))
    doSomeShit(match);

No idea about the drama this supposedly caused, but it'll probably be autistic mumbling about pythonicity.

why the fuck didn't they just make evertyhing an expression? that would be simpler, more consistent and wouldn't force additional syntax

Perl6 does more and better. And it's logo ar're cute :)

I'd fuck off too if a horde of braindead autists periodically had mental breakdowns and blamed all of them on me.

Too late for that. It also seems that people are so nigger they only understand explicit statements and prefer unelegant, inconsistent languages. See Golang's popularity.

The king is dead!
Now its time to implement lambdas and functional programming the right way

implement lambdas and functional programming

You can do that in Java btw
not even joking

He probably would've merged the autism too if autismo made the pull requests in his era of terror.

lambda, filter, reduce and map -- what's missing ?

the right way

multi-line lambdas, statements as expressions, macros, support for point-free style (automatic currying?), some kind of pipelining syntax (can be as simple as threading macro or as complex as haskal monads), dubs-checking

statements as expressions,

NO THANK YOU!

what's the problem? everything should return value for consistency

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-20 9:33

statements as expressions

Please explain, what on earth is statement supposed to mean in this context?
In the following code, which part is a statement? λf. λk. k λx. λk. k λy. λk. k (f x y)

what the fuck does 'the following code' have to do with Python, you functional anus? the point is that Python differentiates between 'expressions' which return value and 'statements' which don't, while it would be better if everything was an expression.

lazy lists and tail recursion

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-20 12:15

>>27

lazy lists

Pretty sure that it already has that? See range/xrange for example.

tail recursion

I think that you mean tail call optimisation. All tail calls may be optimised, not only recursive ones.

while this is true, your're are being a pedantic anus. the point is that there's no TCO in Python and it would be better for FP if it had it

See range/xrange for example.

That's for v2. v3 uses generators to do that instead.

what's the actual difference between a lazy list and a generator though?

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-20 13:18

>>31
Syntax. Lazy lists don't require all the overhead boilerplate.

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-20 13:25

>>32
generator expressions don't have much boilerplate though. you can yield my_dubs if you want but there's always a genexpr if you like one-liners

Python is dead!!!
