[Python-Dev] Call for defense of @decorators (original) (raw)

I've read that in his mail. Do you have something to add, besides personal insults, or just happen to have a lot of free time?

Michael Hudson asked me to calm down, so here I am. I don't want to start a fight here, so I'm sorry if I took this too strongly. I just was a little bit disappointed to receive this kind of answer as the first comment to an email I sent as a way to try to collaborate.

Unfortunately, everyone seems to be sick about this matter, and I'm still disappointed with the introduced syntax. I just wanted to be sure that such an important change won't be a reason to regret soon, and that being sick of something won't be a reason to introduce changes in the language without extensive debate (even if it takes longer than what is usually acceptable).

Is there something to be done that could change the current decision? Voting? Collecting pros/cons and classifying them?

If there's nothing to be done, I'll just give up.
