@CGM I see good in this: new and useful powers for #Python.

I see bad in this: a thing we knew about for a long time, present elsewhere, why so long coming?

I see neutral in this: things that can be provided by libraries instead of directly in the language should absolutely start in a library. If they earn a spot in the language itself, great.

I see sad in this: these words make it sound like #TCL is ahead and Python is behind overall. That doesn’t match my opinion or personal experience. Absolutely agree on this particular feature. And also I have stated many times "there is no best language", just choices more or less cost-effective for the problem at hand.

For the problems I’ve faced, with the tools I’ve had available, Python has been a more cost-effective choice than TCL the majority of the time. From your words, I took that you prefer TCL. Nothing wrong with that!

🐍🙃 Oh joy, another attempt to make #Python do something it was never meant to do! Tacopy claims to optimize tail calls, but really just optimizes your ability to waste time on #GitHub repo rabbit holes. 🚀😂
