Yeah, you are probably right. Although there are precedents where we
have discussed general topics about the future of computing and
where/whether Python fits in.
But QC is probably a but more esoteric than any of those were!
True. As it happens I'm happy to see things go OT on Python threads.
It makes for more interesting reading, plus people might well pick up on
something that otherwise they'd not have learned. However I draw a line
firmly in the sand at quantum computing here. Let's stick with the
wonders of list comprehensions, recursive functions and why can't Python
do floating point arithmetic correctly?
