People in this thread writing conspiracy theories over the biggest language in the world requiring a bit of bureaucracy lends some credence to the idea that programming is not real engineering.
Right? Every popular language has lots of real problems. Every language has made decisions that people don't like. Every language has varying degrees of imperfect governance. Weirdly enough, most languages even seem to grow at least a small community of dedicated conspiracy theorists. But for whatever reason, it's particularly hard to find level-headed discussions about Python, moreso than js or rust or C++. It's weird.
