Oh, man, it has been a while. The last one I remember is PEP 404 (if you
can find it :) ), dated 2011 and it wasn't an April Fool's...

I thought this one was funny:

Yea, it is funny. I commented on it.

Sadly, between Daylight Savings time and a newer irrational PI π Day, I am afraid some April Foolers got thrown off albeit some may shower us with nonsense in May I.

I heard it on reasonably believable authority that the FLUFL took the year off. Lamentable.

Did you notice that Peter Norvig's factorial-operator attempts to
replace one of the very first diamond-grade provisions of [the] FLUFL?

Disgraceful behavior! So disrespectful!

Send him to the Spanish Inquisition...


Saying that, he (Peter) lost the opportunity to promote our new
dev.movement. As he pointed-out, tests are likely to give one a false
sense of security with regard to the correctness of code.

Accordingly, join us in the noTDD philosophy. Like NoSQL is schema-less,
noTDD is scheme-less (we have NO idea what we're doing).

Don't be led-astray by tests. We're all [adult-]optimists here...

Pi day isn't responsible, but it is because of changes to daylight
saving. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures announced
that, in order to gain a few more days of summer weather, all clocks
would be put back by 96 hours at midnight on 31 March 2023. So April 1
is now occurring on what would have been April 4. Expect the usual
torrent of silliness to arrive shortly.
