dae think we've gone a little off the deep end with naming?

one of the 2 hardest things in programming. i agree it should be fun, but should't library naming directly tie into readable code. sure, it'd be boring to call it 'simple debug library', i dunno

very related blog post: f-string debugging in Python 3.8 [0]

which says that Python 3.8 will allow this kind of output:

    >> print(f"{name = }")
    name = 'karthikeyan'
    >>> print(f"{name.upper() = }")
    name.upper() = 'KARTHIKEYAN'

I think it's a play on "I scream", something a lot of us can associate with debugging.
