I'm really worried for the long term health of python.
The philosophy of python is there should be only one pythonic way of doing things.
But more and more features are being added that give too many options with minor benefit
How is case different from the elif pattern? What does the walrus operator do that we really need.
Each one of these things on their own if fine but I'm worried together it's going to make python increasingly idiosyncratic to each developer and, consequently, harder to read.
Python's Zen beat out perl's TMTOWTDI. But python seems to try to be more and more like perl with every release: more appealing to hackers playing code golf than long term readers of the code base
