Comments by "Anony Mousse" (@anon_y_mousse) on "5 Uncommon Python Features I Love" video.

  1. I like Python's slice syntax, and it's good that I've seen this video to know that I can save a slice format because this is yet another feature I think my own language was missing. I finally upgraded my local copy of Python to 3.9 last year, and apparently the "walrus" operator and the match statement were added in 3.10, which is kind of annoying. Oh well, just need to checkout a later version, and I'm aiming for v3.11.0 and ask me in a couple of hours if it works, because yes I am that paranoid to run `make test`. One thing I keep wondering though, why doesn't Python implement operator+ for most things. For sets it makes sense to have operator| instead, but it wouldn't hurt to make operator+ be an alias or even do something weird like collapse a set into an array. I implemented + and += for all of the container classes in my standard library, both for single elements and other containers. It makes no sense to me why people keep pushing back on that.
