As someone who started out in C I love the pointer style syntax



But it doesn't have anything to do with pointers....


Yeah but it’s the aesthetic (tho to be fair everything is a pointer in python.)


So.. you love asterisks?


No? I think the asterisks (two of which acts as a “pointer” to an expanded dict, instead of the dict itself) is straightforward and yes more aesthetic for my taste. Not sure what the circle jerk of non-sequitor comments and downvotes is for?
