[Python-Dev] Small lament...

[Skip Montanaro]

Just wanted to throw this out there... I lament the loss of waking up on April 1st to see a creative April Fool's Day joke on one or both of these lists, often from our FLUFL... Maybe such frivolity still happens, just not in the Python ecosystem? I know you can still import "this" or "antigravity", but those are now old (both introduced before 2010). When was the last time a clever easter egg was introduced or an April Fool's Day joke played?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, man, it has been a while.  The last one I remember is PEP 404 (if you can find it :) ), dated 2011 and it wasn't an April Fool's...

Last I heard is that some core devs are forming the duo PEP Shop Boys. Their debut album will be titled "Please merge".

I got something from MalWareBytes today:

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Why hasn’t Malwarebytes created an app that can detect threats in the real world?” Well, guess what? We just did. Say hello to WorldBytes!

Powered by our world-class malware scanning engine and paired with next-level AI technology, WorldBytes lets you scan the world around you and get real-time threat assessments of anything and everything. And we mean anything. Creepy dolls, toilets with threatening auras, pukka shell necklaces, and even cats (you know the ones). Just scan it with your phone’s camera and WorldBytes will instantly tell you about any potential security concerns.

I heard it on reasonably believable authority that the FLUFL took the year off. Lamentable.

Sadly, between Daylight Savings time and a newer irrational PI π Day, I am afraid some April Foolers got thrown off albeit some may shower us with nonsense in May I.
