🐍 Canberra Python Meetup - Args: Amazing or Approaching? by Evan Kohilas

Join the Canberra Python Meetup where we'll:

• 🌐 Network over 🍕 pizza and drinks 🍺🥤 with fellow Python users 🐍
• 👀 Watch a presentation
• 🗣️ Discuss the presentation

From default args, to `**kwargs`, and everything in-between, Python's comprehensive argument system lends itself to some of the most effective code, through encouraging readability, reuse, and easy refactoring.
But is that really true? Why, and why not?
What could we learn from other languages?
And what else could lie in their future?

In this session, Evan will give a rundown of Python's comprehensive function argument system and how its features allow for safety, conciseness, and expressiveness (whether you're calling or writing functions).
He'll then give examples for where that system lacks, where it could bite you, and give suggestions for what more could be done on Python code to fix those limitations.

Evan is a serial International Speaker and Senior Software Engineer whose passions lie in improving the developer experience by enhancing code health, optimising workflows, and working towards nohumanerrors.com
When he's not thinking about security, informatics, or giving talks about his many projects, you'll find him nomming on Subway cookies, or chasing bunny rabbits.
