Yeah, why not neglect all the good recommendations in the #Python ecosystem, and instead fork your own C extension package, force people to build it with #ZigLang (it's still C), add unconditional dependency on that, and on top of that, refuse to publish wheels, "allowing for optimised compilation according to your machine's specific architecture and capabilities, instead of some (low performance) common denominator."
Fortunately, looks like #Gentoo can just ignore all the fancy crap and compile it with GCC.

Anyone have a machine maintenance system in python?

File as anecdotal, since it was an accidental observation.
Got some #Python that turns a Logseq Transit file (describes your graph and what Logseq understands of its history) into something I can fit into a more familiar database.
Uses Pydantic. Nothing fancy. Enough for structure.
Tried attrs define and field, on a whim.
My simplistic code runs about 15% faster with attrs (or dataclasses, I checked) than with Pydantic.
Moral: Pydantic is great if you need it, but make sure you need it.

📰🐍 Oh joy, yet another programmer's fever dream: running #Python extensions with WebAssembly! Because who wouldn't want to add an extra layer of #complexity to an already tangled web of languages? 🤦♂️ Maybe the author's job prospects will improve with this groundbreaking idea... or not. 🚀
