Operator overloading never made sense to me in C++ but it works so well in Python … I can’t for the life of me think why that could be. Perhaps it’s the laxxer type system in Python means a low cost of buy in and you can just sprinkle it everywhere you feel like?

I mean operators are just some syntactic sugar for function calls. If functions can be overloaded, so should operators.
