@SpaceTurtle224 you're "looking for" and easy answer to a question you can answer yourself easily. Your "question" did not even specify what your looking for.
@sugar_in_your_tea I don't think we should change any functionality when it comes to exception handling. Code based documentation would be great for type checking and auto-generated docs, but they can be done using annotations, not changed interfaces.
Monads are already possible, but should not be the normal way to code either. It's clunky and difficult to understand. It might work great for some scenarios, but doesn't for many others.
@sugar_in_your_tea Since when is Python supposed to equal pseudo code? It should be easily readable, but that doesn't mean it should *equal* pseudo code.
You can either test for values being 0 before dividing, or catching an exception when it is. Especially when dividing multiple times in one function, I would go for the latter option.
@sugar_in_your_tea But isn't all that possible in Python? Don't monads cover exactly what you want? Why does it need to be implemented some different way?
Also, divide by zero should be data just as well. Failing to program around having nothing to divide by is not a reason to have a program panic.
Also, having two systems for largely the same behavior doesn't seem to improve usability and clarity, in my opinion.
