Python Says Discriminatory DEI Policies More Important Than $1.5 Million Dollars The Python Software Foundation has turned down a $1.5 Million Dollar grant from the US government, as it would require them to cease discriminatory Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion practices.

R.I.P. Python. The Left ruins everything it touches.

The PSF used to be good. Then they adopted a Code of Conduct. Then they suspended Tim Peters, the guy who wrote the Zen of Python, the guy who invented timsort, the guy who helped so many of us learn Python. What happened to them?

The foundation must be flush with cash. We shall remember this the next time they roll out the crocodile tears and beg for donations.

I humbly accept the 1.5 mil. on their behalf and will not do DEI. Or hiring.

One can hope that it means Python goes bankrupt.

Don't worry, the pink brigade is hard at work improving the compiler.

Way to stick to those principles. Run your organization however you want.

Why can’t they just not want to be crooks anymore?

More performative art. Fuck’em. I’ll just switch to assembly for the 6502.
