My proposal is we provide a way of functions returning multiple values.
This has been implemented in languages like Go and I have found many cases
where I needed and used such a functionality. I wish for this convenience
in python so that I don't have to suffer going around a tuple.
Can you explain how Go's multiple return values differ from Python's?
Looking at the example here:
https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html
it looks like there's very little difference. In Go, you have to declare
the return type(s) of the function, which Python doesn't require, but
the caller treats the function the same.
I suggest you look up the Go reflect package and the use of interface{},
meaning that you can pass anything you like both into and out of a
function. There lies The Road To Hell as far as I'm concerned, I'll
stick with duck typing thank you.
