I feel like this would literally break the world for almost no real benefit... -- Ryan (ライアン) Yoko Shimomura, ryo (supercell/EGOIST), Hiroyuki Sawano >> everyone elsehttp://refi64.com On Jun 29, 2017 at 6:33 PM, <Soni L. <fakedme+py@gmail.com>> wrote: Step 1. get rid of + for strings, lists, etc. (string/list concatenation is not addition) Step 2. add concatenation operator for strings, lists, and basically anything that can be iterated. effectively an overloadable itertools.chain. (list cat list = new list, not iterator, but effectively makes itertools.chain useless.) Step 3. add decimal concatenation operator for numbers: 2 cat 3 == 23, 22 cat 33 = 2233, etc. if you need bitwise concatenation, you're already in bitwise "hack" land so do it yourself. (no idea why bitwise is considered hacky as I use it all the time, but oh well) Step 4. make it into python 4, since it breaks backwards compatibility. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
