The soul of the beast: Everything about Python's grammar

11:30/12:10

What makes Python so easy to learn and read? Other languages also have a compelling ecosystem and standard library, but Python somehow stands out on how easy it is to understand existing code and how quickly and pleasantly people can learn it. In this talk, we'll learn everything about the Python Grammar: how the Python parser is generated and how it works, how the technical details of the grammar translate into language features, what are the limitations that prevent some grammar rules from being implemented, and finally, how to include new grammar rules in the form of a new operator.
