syntactic sugar
#4
oh, no doubt, good decisions were made,leading to great success. i'm trying to understand the basis for this. for example, the common argument for not adding all that other stuff is that what they do can still be done without them. but decorators are in the same boat. what decorators do can still be done without them. so why are they an exception where the other things are not? i want to understand why they get to be this way and other "features" do not.

part of why i want to understand this is examining my ideas for a language that is so much like python. i want to think through if it could have been a success had it been designed earlier. completed, and released.
Tradition is peer pressure from dead people

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.
