I'm in the latter camp, absolutely, except that I have a lot of practical needs for much of that dynamism. Admittedly, the topic of this thread is a bit funky. I'm wondering what the application is: a profiler? a debugger? malware? self-awareness? > And then it makes sense to just accept that any function can be JIT > (or AOT) compiled, and there's nothing to fish inside of it (but for > the raw machine code of unknown architecture). I've been talking about the need for effective JIT so we can get rid of Java et co. I wouldn't dream of taking away any of Python's dynamism, though. In particular, type annotations etc are a big no in my book. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
