Object destructuring in Python

[Rosuav (Chris Angelico)]

Rust designed to build system software, software that built to run forever. Hence, it must have explicit syntax to avoid memory leaks and accidental memory corruption. It is complicated for a purpose.

Python is designed to write a simple code that easy to interpret once you know a few basic constructs. This is why it has garbage collection and all relevant consequences. And this is a reason to keep the language lean.

Which, of course, is why it’s completely impossible to run Python as your operating system… hmm.
