python-imphook VS yieldpattern

Recently, there was a discussion on the python-ideas mailing list about possibility to add "arrow functions" to Python (familiar from modern JavaScript). I made a proof-of-concept implementation using the imphook module, which allows to easily add hooks for module importing, in particular (by not limited) to implement macro-like functionality like that.

For as long as you're a human and belong to category of "people", you can answer that question as good as anyone else. And your answer is ...?

(Just in case my answer is: https://github.com/pfalcon/python-imphook , yet another (but this time unsucky, I swear!) module which allows people to implement macros (among other things)).

And on top of it, and slightly more convenient API is built as a small Python module, again portable between Pycopy and CPython: https://github.com/pfalcon/python-imphook

I’m writing a TypeScript package for pattern matching by using generator functions.

It’s amazing to me how much pattern matching, well, matches how I think. A conditional if statement means I have to explicitly read properties off an object or inspect an array to check for what I want. Whereas pattern matching means asking ‘I want something that looks like this’ and do the work for me.
