  • After going through the paper, it’s not just “alien plant with eyes”, but rather “alien mimic plant with eyes”! This plant “sees” other plants around (above?) itself and changes the shape of its own leaves to match those of the other plant.

    I wonder if the effect can be chained, and if so, how long the chain could be? I’m imagining an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking the first alien mimic plant with eyes.

    I’m sorry, but when was the last time you actually used Python? Python has had a switch ... case ...-like structure called match ... case ... since v3.10:

    https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-match-case-statement/

    As for having to import standard libraries, why should every single function of every single built-in library be included in every single Python program, much less in compiled executables? At that point, it just bloats up your file sizes and RAM usage.

    ETA: You are literally the only person in this whole thread that has such a huge problem with Python. What did it ever do to you?
