Python devs: They should have sent a poet.

@lmorchard oh no, I'm so sorry. 😔 It sounds like he had a wonderful life with you. Rest in peace Catsby.

@otte_homan they don't need to. They're gonna get you on the minor version releases, too.

When building CLI tools, shell completion usually treats each option in isolation. But sometimes valid values for one option depend on another—like branch names depending on which repository you're targeting.
Wrote about how I solved this in Optique, a type-safe CLI parser for TypeScript.

@lmorchard I'm sorry. Catsby was wonderful, and you were wonderful to him. Thank you for taking such good care. 🧡

@rl_dane I also work on a very large Perl project, and will continue to do so for maybe the rest of my days (I'm 25+ years in, why stop now?).

@rl_dane yes, actually, see my recent threads about Go. I use it 100% of the time for web apps when I have a choice, and have done so for the past couple of years (and a lot lately). I'm also porting my old stuff that I have control over that's in Python. I have grown tired of the beatings. If it has dependencies or needs to be packaged I'm not building it in Python.
But, I maintain a bunch of Python packages for my job, so it's not really a choice I have for the stuff I'm working on right now.

@rl_dane if only there were some middle ground. Alas, impossible.
