What happened to Python?
It&#x27;s hard to disagree with the author&#x27;s assessment of asyncio. It may just be because I&#x27;m stupid, but I cannot get asyncio to fit in my brain no matter how many attempts I make to learn it.<p>Another HN thread on python strings got me thinking about the print() function. This is going to sound a bit trivial but bear with me. Although I agree that print() is more consistent with how functions are called in Python, I can totally see how irritating it would be for a Python 2 programmer. It&#x27;s also just generally disruptive to typing flow: when you&#x27;ve finished typing the word &#x27;print&#x27; your hands are &#x27;out of position&#x27;, making it a bit jarring to type the open parenthesis.<p>This has me wondering: is there a language out there where deliberate thought has been put towards typing ergonomics and fluency? And I wonder if such a language would have a material impact on developer productivity?
