Another Language Change for Debate

For me, this is the most compelling reason to use Python.

Erm, okay. I think we agree. I liked this new notation and
think it's good. I just don't think Python needs it. Which
isn't to say that our would-be language designer can't come
up with a language of his own. I'm currently doing just that,
simply as a hobby (and as an exercise is performance
optimization and as a way to test certain beliefs I have
about the implementation of Python; don't hold your breath,
quite probably no news later, ha ha).
