Javascript is turning into Python?!

[Paul Rubin]

I hadn't seem this before. New Javascript 1.7 features:

- Generators
- Iterators
- Array comprehensions
- Destructuring assignment

Sounds like another language we know.

Indeed, this is a consequence of Greenspun's tenth rule, and it's good.
It doesn't have much to do with GNU Emacs though.

Maybe in exchange, Python can borrow the let statement.

Maybe the with statement could be extended to allow binding more than
one variable.
with x as f(), y as g():
blah (x, y)

Maybe the with statement could be extended to allow binding more than
one variable.
with x as f(), y as g():
blah (x, y)

Wouldn't that be

with f() as x, g() as y:
blah(x, y)

one variable.
with x as f(), y as g():
blah (x, y)

from contextlib import nested

with nested(f(), g()) as (x, y):
....

blah(x, y)

Probably. I haven't started using 2.5 yet.

 

[Fredrik Lundh]

Wouldn't that be

with f() as x, g() as y:
blah(x, y)

or

with f(), g() as x, y:
pass
