Not sure I believe the benefit of this approach outweighs the added difficulty wrt testing, but I certainly agree that Python needs a yikes keyword :-)


What is the benefit of such a yikes? Or do you consider it a yikes language as a whole?

Personally I like that functions can be inside functions, as a trade off between inlining and functional seperation in C++.

The scope reduction makes it easier to track bugs while it has the benefits of separation of concern.

None, it was just a simple joke based on the typo in the post I replied to. I like Python, and have in fact been happily using it as my main language for over 20 years.


Ahhh, now I (top level author) get it :)
