The meaning of `this`

https://lemmy.world/post/31027668

Partially unrelated to the meme, but I find it almost malicious how some python keywords are named differently from the nearly universal counterpart of other languagues.

This/self, continue/pass, except/catch and they couldn’t find a different word for switch so they just didn’t implement it.

It’s as if the original designers purposefully wanted to be different for the sake of it.

List instead of array, dict instead on object (tho it also has objects)
