Python 3.15: features that didn't make the headlines
https://blog.changs.co.uk/python-315-features-that-didnt-make-the-headlines.htmlFrom this example:
lazy from typing import Iterator
def stream_events(...) -> Iterator[str]:
while True:
yield blocking_get_event(...)
events = stream_events(...)
for event in events:
consume(event)

Python is such a weird language. Lazy imports are a bandaid for AI code base monstrosities with 1000 imports (1% of which are probably Shai Hulud now).
And now even type imports are apparently so slow that you have to disable them if unused during the normal untyped execution.
If Instagram or others wants a professional language, they should switch to Go or PHP instead of shoehorning strange features into a language that wasn't built for their use cases.

I was so into Python for 10 years, was enjoyable to work in. But have deleted 100k+ lines this year already moving them to faster languages in a post AI codebot world. Mostly moving to go these days.

Go is terrible for scientific/ML work though, the libraries just aren't there. The wrapping C API story is weak too even with LLMs to assist.
Try and write a signal processing thing with filters, windowing, overlap, etc. - there's no easy way to do it at all with the libraries that exist.

Same, I’m not sure how Python survives this outside of machine learning.
All of our services we were our are significantly faster and more reliable. We used Rust, it wasn’t hard to do
