       Dear #Python maintainers, I am, once again, writing to you to ask that you change the keyword “return” to “retrun", as it will save me seconds each day.Yours Sincerely,John Conway P.S. I am NOT a crackpot.

       @john you need to switch to #tcl % interp alias {} retrun {} returnWelcome to a truly dynamic language, where you can even build your own language structures.

       @Setok I should not be allowed within 50 feet of such a language.

       @john join me in the Dark Side. You know you want to.I once overrode the 'while' construct with one that would automatically break out if it went on for too long. Not just a funny trick: it was in a production environment.I also created Javascript style async/await keywords. All with the language itself.Then there was the time I made a thing that would load an ob from storage if it didn't exist in memory already. Ie. you could do a 'destroy' (for the ob in mem) but it would autoload back.

       @john once I had debug a function (written by someone else) which contained a variable named "retrun" . : )

       @john PS I am not your #python #partypooper Was helping friend install #PyCharm. Working through the myriad settings, noted that one can use Postfix Completion or Live Templates to convince the IDE to translate what you said into what you meant!?macro expansionsNot something I've bothered to utilise or learn to-date.Sadly, the former requires a prefix (hah!) dot/period, and the latter demands press Tab afterwards.https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/settings-postfix-completion.htmlhttps://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/using-live-templates.html#live_templates_typesI will, if you will...

       @john It's a little known fact, that a certain entertainer with a thick German (Austrian) accent has difficulty pronouncing many English words.The line "I'll be back" came from his inability to correctly enunciate "I will retrun"!
