Unwasted waiting time. #python 📚

I don't understand why in #Python they call pattern matching "structural pattern matching"

Is it different form th epattern matching I have, say, in #Guile scheme ?

Or in #Haskell ?

Dependency Hell is a great place to visit so you remember to try to avoid it again.

Finally finished my “write Asteroids in #Python” assignment. This was such a fun and useful learning experience, although I still want to add a few extras on my own.

Gotta have a “hyperspace” button to jump to a random location in a pinch, right? 🤓

The single sole singular only exceptional specific one thing bad about Python is that f"{1 =}" is "1 =1" and not "1 = 1"

Other than this Python has no flaws

Spent more time last night writing tests for my #flask project. I need to do some reading on how to write tests for wrapper functions. I also have a couple routes that were really difficult to write tests for, which probably means they need to be refactored somewhat.

That's said, nearly everything is covered now. I'll poke at those last two spots, but I think it's time to move on to adding some charts/graphs into the admin panel for comparing data between class sections.

Got a little nerd-sniped by Computerphile

So I went back to look at a little BASIC-plus I was designing, made a prototype in Python just because it is the easiest string processing (I have tools for this in Scheme, but it's more involved).

You know what grinds my gears? There's no case-insensitive compare without creating two garbage strings:
a.lower() == b.lower()
instead of (string-ci=? a b) or the like. Why is Python slow? THIS SHIT.
