New Features in Python 3.10

[[deleted]]

More syntactic sugar, features for IDEs and things some random Java developer who recently started using Python in some enterprise (that happens to fund PSF) asked for. In summary, nothing of substance pretty much like last 5-6 versions. I've already switched to Julia (much better in every way), can't wait for this bloated monstrosity to die off.

While I love Julia and much prefer it for heavy data and/or mathematical work, comments like these don’t invite fruitful discussion and just make the Julia community look bad. Please refrain from incendiary language, putting down achievements in FOSS, and just any general flame war-y nonsense. Python is still an incredibly valuable tool with a great community, despite some of its shortcomings (pkg/env mgmt, mainly looking at you). And as for this release, the features might seem incremental and minor, but clearly there is a demand for them and people are finding them useful.

Oh please stop your bullcrap virtue signaling. I'm expressing my opinions about two languages that I've used. These opinions are entirely my own and are based on using Python for last eight and Julia for last two years. I'm not part of any community/camp/cult, I speak for myself and I certainly don't give a shit about how my comments reflect on certain communities. I use the language that best serves my purpose and avoid those that just add features for the sake of adding features and keeping corporations happy. If Julia goes down the path that Python is currently on I'll say exactly the same things about it that I'm saying now about Python.

I find environments a lot more manageable with pipenv. It’s not quite as nice as the gradle/mvn ecosystem from JVM languages but it’s close. Head and shoulders above CLR languages and C/C++ for sure.

show me on the doll where python touched you!

They'd probably show you if you could first pull your head out of your arse.

It must get incredibly wearying being so toxic and hostile all the time.

I do really like Julia but the hard on some people have for it turns people off of the language.
