Can somebody explain what Guido van Rossum has been doing from a day to day perspective on core Python since he stepped down from BDFL? I’m asking in good faith as I don’t follow Python that closely and am curious what he has done since 2018.

He pushed for this operator :=

And switch/case pattern matching

And he merged Microsoft's faster bytecode for arithmetic operators.

I’ve seen him discuss additions to the static typing features.
