Might be a bit too late to dub this "April fools", but never too late to dub it "April fool's gold". Mark, you and everyone else here needs to confront the _real_ issue. Obviously there is a huge sub-culture within the Python community that is totally pissed about (1) the silly backwards compatable breaks of python3000, and (2) this type-hints nightmare. And while we could have overlooked python3000 (eventually), this type-hints thing is undermining the very fundamantal nature of Python. Face it Mark, by intertaining these "python forks" you (and others) are acting out in a passive agressive manner because your voices are being ignored by the Python-dev royalty. The true enemy here is not Python's slow execution speed, no, it is type- hints. Therefore, we must join together and stop this type- hints mess before it propagates in the wild and destroys this language. I can assure you, there has never been a feature more threating to the survival of this language than type-hints. Period. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
