I just love it when random conversations on Mastodon result in a “Huh, I didn’t know that”-moment. The other day I had one such moment about the Python programming language. I’ve been writing Python code for the last 17 years, and quite a lot of it the last 7 years since it is now more or less my full time job. While I still learn things all the time about the language, I’ve started to get more curious about its quirks and surprises.
