    The 2020 Python Language Summit
    The 2020 Python Language Summit was held virtually this year, over two days, via videoconference, with discussions via voice and chat. The summit is a yearly gathering for developers of CPython, other Python implementations, and related projects. As with last year, A. Jesse Jiryu Davis covered the summit; his writeups are being posted to the Python Software Foundation (PSF) blog. So far, all of the first day's session writeups are up, as well as two (of six) from the second day. Topics include "All strings become f-strings", "The path forward for typing", "A formal specification for the (C)Python virtual machine", and more.

    [$] Atomic extent swapping for XFS
    Normally, files exist in a filesystem to keep data contained within them
    separated; seeing data
    exchanged directly between files is often a sign of filesystem
    corruption. There are, however, use cases where it is desirable to be able
    to perform a controlled swap of data between a pair of files. Darrick Wong
    has recently posted a
    patch set
    implementing this feature for the XFS filesystem, but also
    making it available in a general way.
