If I understood correctly Guido, Python the language must not prevent
developers to experiment various usage of assignement expressions. The
f-string has a similar design: anything even
f'{__import__("os").system("rm -rf /")}' is allowed.
It's more the role of linters like flake8 to warn against "bad practices".
I don't think that PEPs like f-string and assignment expressions must
include *coding styles*.
Sure, f-string and assignment expressions allow to write surprising
and bad code. But you don't them them to write crappy code :-)
I was strongly against f-string at the beginning because I immediately
predicted that people will start to call functions (with side effects)
in f-string... but I didn't see that happen. In fact, developers are
reasonable and use f-string when it's appropriate and safe.
