Isn't "..." then also behaving like True, False and None, i.e. being a lexical token that rewolves to a hardwired value during parsing?

Nice to see it get attention this time.

I used to like Python in the 2010s when it felt like a breath of fresh air relative to PHP and Perl.

Now it feels like a weird PHP itself that is slow, brittle, and dangerous to write code at scale in.

The loose typing, potluck standard library, and horrible package manager (insofar as the community does not know how to package code) all feel so dated.
