Call me a monarchist, but I think Python has changed for the worse ever since Guido van Rossum stepped down.

I don't think things would be very different if Guido were still BDFL. He's second-author of the t-strings PEP, and has been an author of most other major PEPs in recent releases (including the walrus operator, PEG parser, and pattern matching).

I for one think python has never been better.

In what ways has it changed for the worse?

It's so fascinating to see so many people, when faced with a simple and useful programming language feature, get all up in arms about how it's the end of the world for that language.

I honestly feel like a lot of people just seem bored and looking for stuff to be mad about.
