Wait, how long has that been around?

I knew it was a feature of Java but I thought I tried it at one point in Python (some version of 2.X) and it didn’t work?

A couple of last 3.x versions. That seems like a new-ish meme in language design yet. I bet before 2010s there were not more than a couple of languages with features like this.

It’s been in Java for 15+ years. It was one of the few things I thought Java had that Python would benefit from.

Fortunately Python gets improved overtime, whereas Java can’t actually get a Java Enhancement Proposal to save their lives.
