That being the case with Python (maybe even ten times as many), why would anybody here care what I say about it? So it doesn't a matter at all that you can do: math.pi = "Hmm, Pie!" because there are so many users who don't care. (Actually I can't remember how many users I had. The language was freely available as part of an application of which we sold thousands, and was actually used to help its implementation. There might have been a dozen people who used it to write add-on products as well as others who tinkered with it. But it was not then a stand-alone language; it was part of a 3D graphics app.) > https://blog.pythonanywhere.com/67/ > > https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/09/06/incredible-growth-python/ > > For a language which does everything wrong, it must be doing something > right. Well, you certainly you get your money's worth in terms of features and add-ons. -- bart --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
