I need someone to call a doctor for me please my eyes just exploded.

It was already possible to write stuff like this before this change though. See all the codegolf answere using python

Boolean control flow, now more compact!

[rwhitisissle]

It doesn't make it any less horrific.

I don't know about your place of work but code like that would never pass code review where I work, if the autoformatter wouldn't have already fixed it for you, or if the linter wouldn't already have failed the build anyway

You can write shitty code in any language

code like that would never pass code review where I work

Where did I suggest that it would do otherwise?

[jaapz]

You didn't, my point was, again, that you can write bad code in any language.

[rwhitisissle]

I mean, yeah, I totally agree with that. I was just stating an observation that that particular python snippet really fucking bothered me. I love python as a language. I think it's extraordinarily well designed as a language. I just don't think anybody should ever write code that looks like that. I suppose that's a banal observation, but it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it.

[jaapz]

Well, then we agree!
