(Peter Lovett) _The virtue of being a lazy programmer, understanding lazy evaluation, and understanding lazy imports (3.15)_
Disclaimer: This was covering a pre-release version of Python. Some changes may happen/have happened before release. Of note, the global "off" switch (='none', 26:07) has been discontinued.
Your boss wants your program to "run faster". But performance can be a tricky thing.
Sometimes we can make a choice of _when_ the program will be slow.
This talk will explore the "virtue" of laziness with regards to programmer approach, and lazy evaluation (with generators and `yield`).
But mainly the talk will focus on the new 3.15 keyword `lazy` and how it can affect module loading times.
