Parent article: Growing pains for typing in Python

Thank you, Jake, for another fine example of an article with the huge value of synthesising and summarising a complex tangled discussion:

There are multiple kinds of consumers of the information, each with their own needs and wishes, as well as users of the feature with expectations of their own. That has led to the formation of a Python typing council to govern the type system for the language, though, as might be guessed, there are still grumblings from various quarters.
May we never lose this gently critical, yet compassionate, tone established in LWN by yourself and Jon Corbet.

Seconded. Thanks, Jake -- this was a fantastic, non-superficial article that presented the current discussion (and a good amount of the current state of things) very well. Keep it up!

I could not have said this better. Indeed, this is one of the (quite a few) things that I value so much in LWN's reporting.
