THREAD: Imagine Python aspiring to be all that it could be... ๐ฅฐ What would it look like?
All of this is well-tested code you can use in your projects today by importing from ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ by @fastdotai.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ can make your code cleaner and easier to maintain...

2/ We will go through the functionality in the order it is defined in ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
Let's start with __๐๐๐๐__
Tired of its output containing very little information useful to a human being?
Here is what you can use instead!

3/ Need to chunk that list into multiple sublists? Maybe you are attempting to run calculations in parallel or doing something even more tricky?
No need to look for that stackoverflow post ever again ๐
The functionality that you need is right here!

4/ How about a dict that you can access without those pesky brackets?
5/ And for all your casting needs...
This example is trivial, but just imagine how much more concise and easy to read your code could be if you could use type annotations in this additional way!

6/ ๐๐๐๐๐_๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅฐ Dataclasses that do not introduce new syntax + that allow you to define your own init!
7/ Composition plays an important role in OOP, but how do we make it play nice? ๐ค How do we compose our objects to our heart's desire and still deliver a nice UX?
Delegated composition is the answer!

8/ TIL Python only started to have a construct for merging dicts in 3.5!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐'s merge gets an honorable mention here (works across multiple dicts)

8/ The functions that follow are tiny but can be super useful for so many things ๐ฅฐ.
9/ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ - a whole new, awesome, take on the tuple
(this is a screenshot of a notebook where this functionality is defined)

10/ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ but where you can move the arguments around, yesss!!!
(tiny example followed by a screenshot of the NB)

11/ Patching... in a language that does not allow for reopening a class, this is badly needed!
I want my tools to allow me to wield great power so that I can direct it at will. I do not want a 'dumbed down' API just because I can misuse it if I code without care...

12/ Runtime type validation!
This covers just ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.๐๐๐๐๐๐ - more to come! ๐
