I wonder what fun The Amazing David Beazley thinks PEP 750 t-strings are? I recently asked him: -- Hi David! I am a huge long time fan of SWIG and your numerous epic talks on Python. I remember watching you give a kinda recent talk where you made the point that it’s a great idea to take advantage of the latest features in Python, instead of wasting your time trying to be backwards compatible. I think you discussed how great f-strings were, which I was originally skeptical about, but you convinced me to change my mind. I’ve googled around and can’t find that talk any more, so maybe I was confabulating, or it had a weird name, or maybe you’ve just given so many great talks I couldn’t find the needle in the haystack. What made me want to re-watch and link my cow-orkers to your talk was the recent rolling out of PEP 701: Syntactic formalization of f-strings, which makes f-strings even better! Oh by the way, do you have any SWIG SWAG? I’d totally proudly wear a SWIG t-shirt! -Don -- He replied: Hi Don, It was probably the "Fun of Reinvention". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js_0wjzuMfc If not, all other talks can be found at: https://www.dabeaz.com/talks.html As for swag, I got nothing. Sorry! Cheers, Dave -- Thank you! This must be some corollary of rule 34: https://www.swigwholesale.com/swig-swag (Don’t worry, sfw!) -Don -- The f-strings section starts at 10:24 where he's live coding Python on a tombstone with a dead parrot. But the whole talk is well worth watching, like all his talks! | ||
