Veteran software engineer and open source juggler 🤹 Last optimist in town.

I mostly work on and with the

web framework. I've been using it since the late 2000s, maintain one or two packages, am a former Django Fellow, and currently serve on both Django’s Security Team and the 6.x Steering Council.

Other than that, it’s parenting, cooking, and philosophy. He/him

Replying to someone

For all of talk of Rust being a "big language", the more I work with it, the more I'm starting to think it might actually be a "small language" in disguise.

For example, if I look at Rust side-by-side with something like the Python typing module (and the 400 pages of PEPs related to it), I'm not so sure that Rust is the "bigger" language. And don't even get me started about Python enums, ABCs, etc.
