I think this really demonstrates how valuable nixpkgs is. It’s the Wikipedia of building packages, and 10 years ago I wouldn’t believe it could exist, or be this good.
The candidate I assume you’re voting for increased the future nuclear threat last time he was in office by pulling out of the Iran deal, for no good reason at all. He’s also one of the most jingoistic people in politics.
not to mention fact checkers are often overwhelmed after just one speech of his there are so many lies and exaggerations. He is a narcissistic grifter that became a cult leader.
Similarly, the xkcd webcomic made an infinitely tileable, user-submitted version of this for his april fools comic this year: https://xkcd.com/2916/#xt=10&yt=78
It’s not just the packaging situation that makes Python a bad first language. Whenever I write in Python, I find it completely impossible to stop myself from constantly making basic, beginner-level programming mistakes. Every time I miss having a compiler and strict typing that will yell at me when I’ve done something stupid.
Modern linters and type-checkers for Python come pretty close to something usable for these situations. But it's certainly something they tacked on to the language afterwards.
I like the recent addition of (proper) pattern matching to Python.
I switched to Rust full time about 6 months ago and recently had to write a somewhat long Python script for something else... it felt awfully quiet without the compiler yelling at me, but that also meant I was making the same silly mistakes over and over and over and over
Apologies if this nerd-snipes you, but supporting the caron might also be fairly simple given you could just vertically flip the circumflex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caron
