You cannot blame like this the administration when you make any regulatory mistake such as not knowing a rule or not being able to enforce it in practice.

It is amazing that we have regulations for everything and that when they cannot enforce it, they blame someone else.

Different way of dealing with people depending on who, not what.


When I choose Python for something, it is clearly for its speed.

It is nice to have the speed, always. But in Python, it would be a mistake to do it at the expense of flexibility. Same for typing: it is great to have it. I use it. But Python should be dynamic and the rest and extension that does not compromise everything else.

If a JIT can make Python 2 or 3x faster, or even 10x for some workloads, that is nice. But the language itself should support same idioms, reflection, dynamic typing, etc at the same level.


oh, I meant it is clearly NOT for its speed.

I am not sure if this is even possible since I have no experience implementing JITs, but maybe it would be a good idea to make it pluggable so that it does not unstabilize other parts of the interpreter in a way that it can continue development?

Responsible decision as things stand today.

Reminds me of people adding more intervention and bureaucracy bc the last one did not do well, so we need more of it.

The problem is never the results of it. It is that we did not do well enough.


My comment was going to say something similar. It starts like: hey, think this, it is time to think this full stop I say so.


The best witness to the committee (I do not think it is that bad) is to check C++ pre 11 and C++26.

There will always be things people want or comolaints. But the list of useful features and fixes is very long.

But you always see the contentious topics at the top, shadowing a lot (most) of the work that is delivered.


Not who you asked but I think the meaning is that since intrinsics for simd are different in each platform, being able to have something that is portable and sometimes works faster is something, while writing for Intel, ARM and a zoo of instruction sets is not an option for some.


Honest comment: it is transition time. This time is to make bets and take positions. Your humble position maybe.

I already took a couple of decisions. It will go wrong or well. But is was decided a year and a bit ago.

If you think the future will be different, stop doing the same you used to do the same way you used to do it.

My analysis is that the labour market will increasingly bargain salaries and will make pressure on you. So how safe is that compared to before? Maybe working for someone as an employed full time person is not the best thing you can do anymore.


I use C++ and Conan with my own recipes and pre-built artifacts.

This mitigates things to a great extent.

I do not know who thought that having your dependencies depend on the internet with a zillion users doing stuff to each package was a good idea for enterprise environments...

It is crazy how much things can get endangered this way.
