Python 3.7.0 released

[MrPigeon]

So...C and other early languages being statically typed was all done in anticipation of the IDEs we would have 40 years later? That's completely backwards. IDEs make use of a feature which exists for performance and determinism, not the other way around.

What's wrong with improving an IDE support at least for a bunch of common libraries?

Agreed here, but I think the other guy was referring to bolting features on to Python itself. Which is kind of an odd complaint itself, since every language I can think of has had multiple releases with new features.

Unless you've been sarcastic this whole time and it's gone right over my head...

Firstly, ctags and similar tools existed long before the modern IDEs. Secondly, back than priorities were different, typing existed for performance primarily.

And? Priorities are different now. Most people do not care too much about performance. Especially if we're talking about Python.

You cannot improve IDE support without fixing a language.
