Weekly Report, November 15 - 21

Pretty typical week that started with a bang: an out of schedule release of Python 3.9 to fix a regression of argparse that turned out to be pretty disruptive for our users.

What’s up with last week?

Well, I’ve been doing a somewhat non-typical part (and these days sporadic!) of my job: being a public speaker. I visited the wonderful town of Groningen in the Netherlands for a 300+ person conference called PyGrunn. It was its tenth edition and I had plenty of fun. Here’s a photo I took of the city’s Forum Groningen building where the conference took place:

Outside of downtown it was a very calm place, a lot of green everywhere, and bicycles obviously. There was also a river:

In any case, my talk at the conference was about pattern matching… or rather about the process of learning and the importance of having a goal. And in this particular case, how “writing a game” might not be the best choice. But we learned a bunch about the Textual library, we talked about robots… and yes, there was a slide on pattern matching!

That was last week though, this week was comparatively less exciting.
