@elyn Yeah, I advise folks to steer clear of the core type machinery implementation unless they actually *want* to stretch their brains into weird shapes in order to understand it. Lots of "this isn't quite true yet, but it will be true before it needs to be true, just trust us on that, computer".
I also love the fact that it is all completely *un*necessary knowledge for folks that just want to use Python without worrying about the fiddly details of how it works.
@ancoghlan @elyn I didn't mean to, but I have been in the past couple days, and I am not even working in anything conceptually complex

@ArchiteuthisFlux @csolisr the alchemical formula for mastodon catnip has thus been revealed

@elyn so, how do you like it here?
@EnigmaVoice it's great!

@elyn The paradox is that Python is good because it sucks. You can't make good stuff in the language so the only possible role of the language is to be thin layers of glue. And that makes it good. Example: a researcher who only knows Python has to use a module implemented by someone else (who knows what they're doing) in an efficient language. It's not even possible implement a crappy algorithm or logic in Python because then the simulation will never finish because of how slow the language is.

@elyn There are of course many exceptions to this shower thought...
